Notification of Event & Road Closure - Saturday 2 May 2026

The annual Great Ocean & Otway Classic Ride and associated road closures, to be held in your local area on Saturday 2 May 2026. As with previous years, road closures will be implemented along sections of the course to provide the safest possible environment for road users. A course map is enclosed showing the timing of these closures for each section of the ride, as summarised in the attachment.

Please note the following:

Section 1: please avoid 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.

Please drive with caution. Cyclists share the road.

The event village is at Elephant Walk Reserve, with the start and finish line on The Esplanade.

Local residents may register for the event for 25% off with "LOCAL25" promotion code when registering.

More details can be found at www.greatoceanotwayclassic.com.au

The majority of residents and businesses along the course will still be able to leave and return to their property/address during the event. The exception will be residents on the Deans Marsh-Lorne Rd between Deans Marsh and Neade St, Lorne. For safety reasons, local access for these residents will not be possible during the road closure period from 9am to 1pm.

We appreciate your patience and we assure you that the roads will be reopened to traffic as quickly as possible to minimise any inconvenience.

Should you have any queries, please feel free to contact our office during business hours on 0456 479 606.

We apologise for any inconvenience the event may cause and look forward to your continued support of our event.

Yours sincerely,
