Victoria
Audax Victoria organises rides ranging from 50 to 1200 km. Victoria is a relatively compact state and offers a fantastic range of cycling routes. Some samples of our rides include city bike paths with plenty of coffee and food stops, coastal ocean roads, winding rivers and challenging Alpine mountains.
Audax riding can offer the rider ways to explore regions of Victoria at a relatively comfortable pace. To complete a ride, you only need to average 15 km/hour for distances up to 600 km. Interested? Check out our region ride calendar and contact the ride organiser to get started.
