If you are a fit cyclist looking for an amazing challenge then the Great Ocean Road is a route to consider. At 271 Km you will need to accept suffering as part of the achievment. Or split the trip up.

The entire route is 271 km long, and it would usually take about 4 days to complete. This will give you enough time to take your snaps and enjoy the scenery.
