The Great Victorian Bike Ride: A story of fun, fine food, and friends - Australian Geographic

The Great Victorian Bike Ride

With the 2025 Great Victorian Bike Ride approaching in late November, Daniel Scott shares his memorable experiences from last year's cycling adventure.

Australian Geographic Adventure recounts Daniel's story, which began nearly three decades ago when he joined a mass ride across South Australia in 1996.

As a youngish, hot-headed “adventurer”, that 560km trip, from Mount Gambier to Adelaide, was largely an excuse to party hard with a host of characters.

These characters included his oldest mate Hugh, champion cycling socialite John, the Risistor sisters, Victor, and Melbourne ecdysiast Penny Lane.
