ANZAC Ride

  • This ride concept wasn't my own, but the brain child of the Australian Iron Butt Association. The original intent from their perspective was to ride through 5 towns, in order, to spell ANZAC, culminating at the ANZAC Day Service at the Australian War Memorial in the Canberra.
  • Region: Melbourne - Canberra
  • Distance: ~800 km
  • Duration: Day
  • Surface: Sealed

Ride map

Being an Iron Butt ride, it’s supposed to be >1000 Miles in <24hrs, at which point the start location could be Adelaide. However this is the light version, doing about half that distance. 

Key stops to make the ANZAC acronym:

  1. Avalon, VIC
  2. Newham, VIC
  3. Zeerust, VIC
  4. Albury, NSW
  5. Canberra, ACT
