3 Peaks Ride

The 3 Peaks Challenge will back again in 2016 to provide cyclists with one of the world's toughest and most picturesque cycling challenge, set in the stunning Victorian Alps. Taking place on March 14, during the Victorian Labour Day long weekend, the 3 Peaks Challenge attracts cyclists from around Victoria, Australian and the globe, who all come to test themselves on this challenging and epic loop ride.

This event would not be possible without a team of dedicated Rotary volunteers there to support cyclists taking on this epic challenge!

Bright Rotary have been involved since the ride inception three years ago and have taken on the role of manning the rest station around the course.

WHAT IS IT?

The 3 Peaks Challenge is the ultimate challenge ride. A 235 kilometer loop ride through the picturesque Victorian Alps, starting and finishing in Falls Creek Alpine Village. The ride attracts people from all over Victoria, Australian and the Globe to test themselves on this epic loop ride. Riders have 13 hours in which to complete the 235 kilometer loop ride and conquer the 3 Peaks.

The 3 Peaks are the Tawonga Gap (876 metres), Mount Hotham (1825 metres) and Falls Creek (1721 metres), with the loop ride also travelling through Mount Beauty, Tawonga South, Germantown, Harrietville, Hotham Heights, Dinner Plain, Omeo and Anglers Rest, before finishing in Falls Creek. The Event Village is the Falls Creek Alpine Village, Victoria's premier alpine village.

DONATIONS
