DD17: The Melbourne Dirty Dozen comes to Dromana

The Melbourne Dirty Dozen is back for another year and in 2017 the event has a new home.

After three editions in the Dandenong Ranges (2012-14) and two in Warburton (2015-16), the Melbourne Dirty Dozen moves down to the bayside suburb of Dromana for a brand new challenge.

Located on the Mornington Peninsula, roughly an hour south of the Melbourne CBD, the Dromana area is home to a host of short but steep climbs, many of them with terrific views over Port Philip Bay.

For those not familiar with the Melbourne Dirty Dozen, it’s a recreational challenge ride (i.e. not a race) that pits riders against a baker’s dozen of tough climbs. It’s a hard day out, but also a lot of fun. Take a look at these reports from previous editions to get a feel for what’s in store for DD17:

2012 (Dandenongs)
2013 (Dandenongs)
2014 (Dandenongs)
2015 (Warburton)
2016 (Warburton)

    1. There are a few other places around Melbourne that I would like to get to… Down the peninsula had the appeal needed. I hope that the course rotation keeps the event fresh for everyone…

    1. Great. I’m looking forward to it. I haven’t done a DD for many years, but I now live in Eltham so I get lots of steep hill practice (Reynolds, Hewitts, Flat Rock, Mt P, etc.). Hopefully, I will survive Dromana.

  1. So many great options between Dromana Mt Martha and Red Hill. Can’t wait to see what your list will be. Do you need Volunteers?
