Great Ocean Road Gravel Tour : 26 - 30 NOVEMBER 2024 Welcome to your Great Ocean Road Gravel Tour – there is something magical about riding through the Great Ocean Road region and we’re excited to share these experiences with you as part of this gravel riding journey. Over the 5 days of the tour, we will experience many highlights – not the least of which will be each other’s company and friendship - but also many breathtaking natural landscapes and experiences. We will roll along hundreds of kilometres of quiet gravel roads, through towering Mountain Ash forests and prehistoric tree ferns, visiting landmarks like the Twelve Apostles, the Cape Otway Lighthouse, The Otway Fly, the world-famous wildflower heathland and much more. We’ll eat, relax and chat by night and ride our bikes by day – all in all we’re certain this will be an amazing riding holiday and we’re grateful you’re joining us. We live in the Otways and know the area incredibly well, we’ve conducted races through these same areas for more than 18 years and have gained experience on what’s achievable and what’s comfortable. We’ve pulled together the best of the best riding, services and comforts but please share your thoughts along the way and let us know anything we’ve overlooked. This rider’s handbook explains the journey and we encourage you to read it before you arrive so you can prepare your bike and body for the riding to come. A bit of preparation now will help make this a holiday to remember and of course, if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at any time. See you soon – the Rapid Ascent Journeys Team: Sam, John, Jez, Marcel, Ange, Adele and Bridget
