The Great Vic Bike Ride is Australia’s biggest and most iconic riding holiday.

The rolling bike festival pedals to a new town each day, setting up camp where we can soak up an afternoon and evening of entertainment and activities including live music, comedy, yoga, an outdoor cinema and much more! 

Each year, seasoned campaigners and new riders come together to share three, five or nine days of camaraderie, camping and cycling through some of the most picturesque pockets of the country. In 2020 you can choose from three ride options as we explore the Art Silos and the Grampians.

9 day ride | Rainbow – Great Western (532km)
The full Great Vic Bike Ride – 9 days of camping, riding and exploring this iconic route with new and old friends.
5 day ride | Rainbow – Halls Gap (320km)
Starting in Rainbow you’ll embark on one of the great journeys towards the untouched hills of the Grampians. 
3 day ride | Halls Gap – Great Western (212km)
A taste of the Great Vic while soaking up all the glory of the Grampians and country Victoria’s South Western region.

Over nine days, you’ll get the unique chance to ride through world heritage-listed national parks like Kakadu and Litchfield, swim in century-old watering holes and immerse yourself in historic indigenous cultures.

The Great Top End Escape isn’t just a bike ride – it’s a jam-packed tour with attractions that showcase the best of the region.
