Peaks Challenge Falls Creek

Victorian Alps · Australia · organised by Bicycle Network
When
7 March 2027
Distances
235 km
Climbing
4,000 m

The ride Australians just call Three Peaks: 235 km from Falls Creek over Tawonga Gap, Mt Hotham and back up Falls Creek itself, with a 13-hour cutoff. It is the longest, hardest one-day mass-participation road ride on the Australian calendar, and the last climb starts when you have already ridden 200 km.

Checked against the organiser’s official site on 5 September 2026. Dates, routes and entry conditions change — confirm on the official site before booking flights or accommodation. We are not the organiser and take no entries.

200 km· 2,500 m climbing

Four days and roughly 200 km of coastal singletrack, farm tracks and forest through the Margaret River region, with daily stages of 34–59 km. Not especially technical, and the format deliberately builds in the breweries and wineries the region is known for.

Around the Bay

220 km

A ride around Port Phillip Bay from Melbourne, with six options from a short family ride up to the full 220 km circuit. Flat, coastal and aimed at every level of rider — for many Victorians it is the first big day they ever ride.
