Ride features

Starting at Albert Park, the 200km Sorrento return ride screams sea views as it takes in the best of the eastern side of Port Phillip Bay. Enjoy the likes of Mount Martha, Oliver’s Hill and Beach Road. 

The route is relatively flat with just over 800 metres of climbing. The steepest parts of the ride are at Oliver’s Hill (600 metres of climbing at 6%), Balcombe Hill (roughly 2.4km of climbing at 4.4%), then just a gradual climb with some rollers thrown in for 6km as you come out of Mornington and head towards Frankston.
