This 60km road ride is perfect for riders looking for the challenge, with a couple of climbs thrown in for good measure.
One of the most exciting elements to the Ballarat Cycle Classic is that all road courses involve riding the WORLD RENOWNED Australian National Road Cycling Course. How’s that for bragging rights?
Experience the views from Mt Buninyong east towards Melbourne, and then ride through the fertile volcanic rolling plains back to Ballarat.
You will see rolling fields with sheep & cattle grazing, irrigated potato paddocks; in fact some of the most pristine riding anywhere in the country.
All rides come together in Dunnstown before re-entering Ballarat for a clockwise ride around the lake Wendouree to the Cycle Classic village in Windmill Drive.
This ride is perfect for the social rider looking to go the next step. So dust off your bike and start training for the challenge today!
