The Hotham Challenge Ride (formerly DP Festival of Cycling) is a 3 day cycling event based out of the picturesque village of Dinner Plain in North East Victoria. The event offers a unique opportunity for road cyclists to challenge themselves to descend and climb the Great Alpine Road, including the renowned Hotham Summit, in a fully supported environment. All aspects of the weekend are personalised to ensure you can achieve your personal best on your bike.

During the festival you will learn how to tackle alpine riding with a Ridewiser coaching clinic, gain tips at the mechanical workshop, and push your personal limits on the Hotham Challenge Ride. Topped off with great socialising and a leisurely ride followed by a relaxed lunch on the Monday, its the perfect long weekend of cycling, food, wine and friends.

Registrations are capped at 120 riders to ensure you receive the best support and gain the most out of your ride!
