Great Victorian Bike Ride 2025 - Wodonga to Healesville
On Saturday 23 November, the Great Vic team left from Sacred Heart for Wodonga. We were so excited to be finally leaving after all the training and preparation. The first day we arrived it was hot and humid, but it didn’t stay like that the whole 9 days. We got lots of rain throughout the 9 days but there was also lots of sun and we had patches of good weather. When we weren’t battling the rain we were battling the flies, but by the end, it wasn’t important. We loved exploring all the different country towns with our friends and team mates and we enjoyed the sightseeing along the ride. The routes were really beautiful with open hills, mountains and lakes.
In the afternoons and evenings, we played cards, dressed up in op shop clothes and did challenges and scavenger hunts.
While we had some hiccups with crashes and weather, by the end of the week we were a great team and it was sad to leave the ride. We had some not so waterproof tents and broken bike brakes but we were able to overcome these challenges and thoroughly enjoy our time on the ride. As a team we would like to give a massive thank you to Mr Darroch, Ms White, Mr Walker, Dom and Udo for coming along on the ride and offering us support. The ride wouldn’t have been the same without them.
