Bicycle Victoria announced this afternoon that the Great Vic Bike Ride 2020 has been postponed.

The ride, which has taken place for 36 consecutive years, was set to start in Rainbow this November before taking in the Silo Art Trail and the Grampians, before ending in Great Western.

“While it may not come as a surprise, we appreciate that this news will still be disappointing for many – from our riders, to our volunteers, contractors, host towns and partners – but we know it’s the right call,” Rebecca Lane, Bicycle Victoria’s General Manager – Events and Operations, said.

Riders will still have the opportunity to explore our part of the world on two wheels – just a year later than originally planned.

“As promised, you’ll ride from the Art Silos to the Grampians in Western Victoria for one of our most unique and visually stunning rides yet - in November 2021.”

“Tickets will go on sale for next year’s ride in May 2021 and we can’t wait to see you back for a Great Vic family reunion to remember.

“In the meantime, please keep supporting our regional communities in any way you can and of course, keep safe and keep pedalling.”
