Wilsons Promontory has been revealed as next year’s stunning destination for Bicycle Network’s RACV Great Victorian __bike Ride. The iconic event will start at the world famous Tidal River and make its way through Gippsland to Trafalgar over nine days next year.
Taking place from 25 November – 3 December, the 34th edition of the RACV Great Vic will be the first one to visit ‘The Prom’ and will also include a visit to Ninety Mile Beach at Seaspray and an extended stay at Bairnsdale.
Bicycle Network General Manager of Events, Rebecca Lane, said the ride is an incredible opportunity for riders to experience the very best of Gippsland.
“We can’t wait to visit Wilsons Promontory and Gippsland. It will be the first time the RACV Great Vic has been to Tidal River, which is really exciting for riders, and we’re grateful for the support of Parks Victoria who have helped make this happen,” said Ms Lane.
“The RACV Great Vic is known for visiting Victoria’s most beautiful landmarks and towns and 2017 will be no exception. With Wilsons Prom and Ninety Mile Beach just some of the gems, it will not be one to miss.”
Thousands of riders from Victoria, interstate and overseas are expected to join the next year’s RACV Great Vic, which delivers a huge economic impact to the regions it visits.
“Riders love getting to know different parts of Victoria, sampling local produce and dropping into restaurants, pubs and cafes, and we have no doubt they’ll love the local Gippsland hospitality,” added Ms Lane.
The full route for next year’s event is Wilsons Promontory (Tidal River), Foster, Yarram, Seaspray, Bairnsdale (rest day), Maffra, Glengarry and Trafalgar. Entries open in May at www.greatvic.com.au.
