Inspired by the world-class cycling event that bears his name, the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Ride loop delivers a spectacular blend of coastal beauty, rural backroads, and rolling terrain. At nearly 118 km with just over 1,000 m of climbing, this route is both a scenic showcase and a satisfying endurance challenge.
Rolling out from Geelong, the ride warms up on quiet roads through farmland before dropping you onto the Surf Coast Highway toward Torquay. From here, the scenery transforms—the deep blue of the Bass Strait opens up, with the famous surf beaches of Jan Juc and Anglesea marking your arrival on the Great Ocean Road.
The coastal stretch is pure riding bliss: undulating tarmac hugging the shore, salt air in your lungs, and ocean views at every turn. After passing Aireys Inlet Lighthouse, the route turns inland, swapping the sea breeze for the shelter of rural roads. The return leg takes you across the Bellarine Peninsula, skirting Ocean Grove and Barwon Heads, with a mix of flat tempo sections and gentle rises to keep the legs engaged.
Finishing back in Geelong, you’ll have completed a ride that blends the best of Victoria’s coast and countryside—just as the Cadel Evans race does—making it an instant favourite for locals and visitors alike.
