Around the Bay in a Day
Around the Bay is a fundraising 〔https://www.bicyclenetwork.com.au/around-the-bay/the-event/257/〕 recreational cycling event organised by Bicycle Network in Victoria, Australia. Cyclists register to ride a course which was originally 210 km (but later augmented with a 250 km option) either clockwise or anti-clockwise around Port Phillip Bay, starting and ending in Melbourne, and catching the Searoad Ferry between Queenscliff and Sorrento.〔(ATB 2006 in Google Maps )〕 For those who choose to do the 210 km or 250 km route (the only two that properly fit the event description) the ride begins and ends at Alexandra Gardens. Half of the riders head towards the east-side of the bay, riding to Sorrento, and the other half head west towards Queenscliff. Riders cross the bay near the Port Phillip heads on ferries to complete the ride.
==History==
The event was first run in 1993, following on from the success the then ''Bicycle Victoria'' had experienced with its ''Great Victorian Bike Ride''. Approximately 500 cyclists took part in the inaugural event. In October 2004, over 8,600 riders took part. In 2005 almost 11,000 people registered for the ride and raised about $300,000 for The Smith Family charity for disadvantaged children.〔(10,000 cyclists celebrate beating the bay ) The Age 17 October 2005. Accessed 2 May 2007〕
In 2008 more than 16,000 riders participated in ''Around the Bay in a Day''. Several riders were injured before the start of the ride when a car hit a leading rider in a group on the Nepean Highway at around 4am just south of Mt Eliza.〔Patrick Horan with AAP, ''(Several injured after car rams into group of cyclists )'', Herald Sun, 20 October 2008. Accessed 22 October 2008〕 Later on the same day, a male rider collided with a fellow rider and fell head first on to the road at Olivers Hill near Frankston. He was taken to the Alfred Hospital but later died from his injuries.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Road Fatalities 2008 )〕 In 2012, over 17,000 riders took part across the various distances. The 2015 edition will be held on the 11 October 2015.
