There are many great cycling climbs in the Australian state of Victoria, from short, sharp rises in the Dandenongs Ranges to the epic climbs of the Victorian Alps, and everything in between. The Climbing Cyclist is a resource for cyclists that are looking to tackle these climbs.

For each of the climbs featured on the site, we’ve provided details of where the climb starts and finishes, statistics about the climb, a profile and map of the climb, photos and some text explaining what you can expect from the climb. New climbs are being added to the site periodically.

There are a number of ways you can get access to the climb guides on this site:
