Comparable to a mountain stage of the Tour de France, the Peaks Challenge returns in 2027, featuring a 235km course with over 4000 metres of elevation gain and a 13-hour time limit.

The ride will take you through three of Victoria’s most renowned high-country climbs: Tawonga Gap, Mount Hotham, and the notorious “Beast” at the back of Falls Creek.

With comprehensive on-route support from Bicycle Network, and wave leaders from Team Bicycle Network setting the pace, you’ll have all the help you need to cross the finish line within your target time. The highly sought-after finisher’s jersey is within reach!

Are you ready to take on the challenge in 2027?
