Join in the fun as hundreds of young riders and their families take to the very same finishing straight as the pros – passing the iconic Geelong waterfront and under the finishing gantry.
Closed to traffic, the flat, safe circuit provides the perfect opportunity for the next generation of cycling enthusiasts to test their two-wheel prowess, before celebrating at the Steampacket Gardens Velo Village.
STYLE YOUR RIDE
Former Australian cycling professional Simon Gerrans has joined the 2025 ride as an ambassador and said he
can’t wait to see all the families hit the circuit next year.
Hendry’s will be hosting a free ‘style your ride’ activation during the GeelongPort Family Ride for all kids in attendance, as well as providing mechanical support should anyone require it.
“It’s a fantastic element of the festival of cycling in Geelong – something the whole family can get involved with. I have four kids and we’ll be on the circuit Friday afternoon, enjoying it with over 1000 other kids and families!”
