Amy's Grand Fondo

AMY’S GREAT OCEAN ROAD GRAN FONDO IS THE SAFEST AND MOST SPECTACULAR AUSTRALIAN CYCLE EVENT – FEATURING FULLY CLOSED ROADS OF THE VICTORIAN GREAT OCEAN ROAD & OTWAYS.

A ‘Gran Fondo’ is an age-old Italian cycling term, meaning ‘great endurance’. Traditionally a Gran Fondo is a timed event that has a scenic, challenging, mountainous course. The distance, terrain and sensational scenery of the Surf Coast and Colac Otway regions makes for a challenging ride and the ideal location for a Gran Fondo.

The Age Category Event sees amateur riders race in the UCI World Gran Fondo Series with the top 25% in each age group being invited to the following year’s UCI Gran Fondo Series World Championship Event. Whether taking up the invitation or not, the honour of being a qualifier is highly sought after and something to be proud of achieving (Age Groups listed down the page). This Age Category Event is open to all riders aside from the list at page bottom.

The 2027 UCI Gran Fondo World Championships are set to be hosted in France between the 24 August to 5 September 2027! You can qualify in Lorne 2026 to race and become a World Champion in 2027.
