The Great Victorian Bike Ride is the world's largest fully supported bike tour: a nine day, 544km bike riding and camping festival. It's an exciting, thriving community on the move, that takes in a different region of Victoria, Australia each year. Imagine riding side-by-side with a new found friend, experiencing the spectacular sights and sounds from the seat of your bike. Every year there are thrills, challenges, breathtaking scenery, lazy rest times, loads of opportunity to meet new friends and warm welcomes from beautiful Victorian country towns.

The Great Victorian Bike Ride draws people from all walks of life. Whether you’re eight or 78, seriously sporty or new to cycling, there’s nothing like the buzz of soaring along on a bike with 3,500 others, nor the sense of achievement in getting somewhere by your own steam.

In 2007 we travel through Eastern Victoria – Inspired by Gippsland. There are few places in the world where you will find such an extraordinary diversity of landscapes. From lush rolling hills to snow capped mountains, rugged coastlines to magnificent waterways and wide sandy beaches - Gippsland has it all. And we will see it all, travelling from Phillip Island to Buchan on this truly marvellous bike adventure.
