Peaks Challenge:
The 3 Peaks Challenge provides cyclists with one of the world’s toughest and most picturesque cycling challenges.
The 234km course is so epic it can be compared with the toughest Stages in the Tour de France. It has three major climbs; Tawonga Gap, Mt. Hotham and the beast that is the back of Falls Creek!

The 300km loop ventures through Point Nepean National Park, adding car-free roads, unrivalled coastal riding and a touch of WWII history to this coveted ride around Melbourne’s Port Phillip Bay.
You’ll tackle the famous Arthurs Seat climb with pristine views of the bay before a rewarding pedal through fast-paced rolling hills towards Flinders. Re-joining the main ride at Dromana, the final 50kms can’t be missed as you enjoy arguably the best of Beach Road on your return to Albert Park.

Equivalent to a mountain stage of the Tour de France, Peaks Challenge is a 235km ride with 4000+ metres of climbing and a 13-hour deadline.
Set across three of the Victorian high country’s most famous climbs, you’ll tackle the ascents of Tawonga Gap, Mount Hotham and finally, ‘The Beast’ that is the back of Falls Creek.

2 years ago I thought I never be able to cycle more than 200km in a day, but after quite some training I was ready for the Around the Bay ride.
It was an early wake up as the start was at 5:30 in the morning, but the ride went really well in a much faster time I expected.
