Cyclists coast on RACV ride

HUNDREDS of participants enjoyed one of Australia’s premier and most spectacular rides at the weekend.

The RACV Great Ocean and Otway Classic Ride saw cyclists pedal off from Torquay on Saturday morning through the picturesque farmlands of the Otway ranges to Lorne and then back along the Great Ocean Road to Torquay.

Starting and finishing in Torquay the event took in spectacular scenery along the course, which gave cyclists the options of three distances and the opportunity to stop in the townships of Moriac, Deans Marsh and along the Great Ocean Road at Lorne, Aireys Inlet and Anglesea.
