Riding Routes
East Otway Ride 70 km
This loop ride comprises both forest roads and local roads. There are some small river crossings, some sandy and clay sections. There are a few steep ascents and descents, but generally the loop is flat. Sections of track become slippery following rain. Two seasonal road closures are included in the ride.
Seasonal Road Closures - DSE and Parks Victoria close these roads for one week at a time after heavy rain or when the road conditions become unsafe. This is necessary to ensure track safety.
Getting there - The Great Otway National Park and Otway Forest Park are situated south of the Princes Hwy which runs between Geelong and Warrnambool. The Paddys Swamp Trail Bike Visitor Area is easily accessed via Winchelsea, which is situated halfway
between Geelong and Colac on the Princes Highway.
