Gearing up

A Keilor local is preparing for her fourth Great Vic Bike Ride this year, which will see cyclists pedal from Mortlake to Camperdown via the Great Ocean Road.

Nevenka Bradica, a regular cyclist in Brimbank Park, said she’s excited to take on the challenge.

“I love the fact you can see our beautiful countryside on roads that normally I would not want to ride on… with lots of other bike riders I feel very comfortable and safe on the Great Vic Bike Ride,” she said.

The bike ride, now in its 41st year, will feature 300 kilometres of Great Ocean Road coastlines, cliffs and winding country roads as part of its five-day itinerary.

Ms Bradica said in previous years she’s seen little ones on bike racks participating in rides as well as 80-year olds furiously pedalling it out.

“It’s fantastic,” she said. My advice for the first timer is to do it and like me you’ll get the bug and keep coming back.”

The Great Vic Bike Ride will run from November 23 to 28.
