Large mass-participation ride run by Bicycle Network around Melbourne’s Port Phillip Bay, which the organiser calls Australia’s biggest one-day cycling festival; 2027 is the 33rd edition. The classic 220 km loop circles the bay, taking the ferry to Sorrento and returning to Albert Park along Beach Road, while the 135 km option starts in Geelong. Shorter routes cross the West Gate Bridge to Williamstown, and there is a family ride in Albert Park, all on closed roads with full rest-stop support.
