Ride Summary

This 24-kilometre-long ride has a corner ratio of 80% and fair corner speeds. Cars are fairly frequent, with a rate of one every 5 minutes being typical. The bitumen grip is good and there are no bumps in the smooth road surface.

Ride Description

This ride is another of several exciting routes through the Otway Ranges, near the Tasman Sea. The scenery along the route is not as inspiring as that along Skenes Creek Road, but the excellence of the bitumen and the lack of glossy corners makes up for that somewhat. The terrain is heavily forested and grown with ferns as well. It is known as a local version of the Reefton Spur because of its mix of sporadic straightaways for blasting, and numerous interesting twisting, convoluted sections.

Directions

The town of Torquay, the actual start of the Great Ocean Road, is 85 kilometres southwest of Melbourne’s CBD, and can be reached by first crossing the West Gate Bridge and following the Princes Highway. Continue on this highway through Geelong, then turn off onto the Surf Coast Highway, which leads directly to Torquay. From Torquay it is a short ride to Lorne.
