Please also note the following:
| 7.00am – 9.15am | Section 1: please avoid the Anglesea Rd from the Bellbrae roundabout to Hendy Main Road, to minimise delays |
| Section 7: Great Ocean Road from Skenes Creek to Torquay will be open in both directions |
Please also note the following:
- Section 1: please avoid the Anglesea Rd from the Bellbrae roundabout to Hendy Main Rd from 7am – 9.15am, to minimise delays
- Section 7: Great Ocean Road from Skenes Creek to Torquay will be open in both directions
- There will be a smaller number of riders (approx. 450) leaving Torquay at 6.30am. These riders will be participating in an extended ride that follows the event course through Moriac before heading to the towns of Forrest and Skenes Creek, and then back to Torquay via the Great Ocean Road. There will be no road closures in place for these early starters.
- The event village, start and finish line will be staged at the Point Danger carpark, rather than Elephant Walk Reserve, due to the turf restoration works taking place.
