Terrain: The Great Ocean Road is a very popular tourist destination. While there are several large hills, they are very rewarding and offer a great downhill afterward.  The roads we choose to ride on are all sealed.  The Great OCean Road is very busy, particularly on weekends (which is why we avoid the weekend), so care must be taken whilst sharing the road with motorists.
