World class male riders were competing across the wider Geelong region in front of a packed crowd at Ewing Blyth Drive in Barwon Heads on Sunday 27 January.
Ocean Grove locals and hundreds crossed the world famous Barwon Heads Bridge to get a glimpse of the action.
Riders took in the picturesque surrounds at Torquay, Bells Beach and the Geelong wider area including the race finish line at the Geelong Waterfront.
