What better way to kick off a week of tunnelling in Melbourne than on two wheels visit one of the newest tunnel additions to the city?

Ahead of ISAVFT 2026 and the ATS Short Course, join us for an informal social bike ride on Sunday 29 November, taking in Melbourne’s cycling infrastructure and the West Gate Tunnel precinct (West Gate Tunnel Project – Victoria’s Big Build).

Starting from 27 South Wharf Promenade, we’ll ride towards the West Gate Tunnel North Portal via the Veloway (Dixon Veloway – Victoria’s Big Build), before returning to South Wharf. Along the way, we’ll stop for lunch or coffee and have plenty of opportunity to talk tunnels, exchange ideas and connect with fellow professionals in a relaxed setting.

📅 Sunday 29 November 2026
🕛 Start: 12:00 pm
📍 Start & finish: 27 South Wharf Promenade, South Wharf VIC 3006
🚲 Route: South Wharf → Veloway → West Gate Tunnel North Portal → South Wharf

No registration. No fee. Just turn up!

There is no registration or payment required for the ride. Just bring yourself and a bike and meet us at the starting point at noon.

Don’t have a bike?

No problem, particularly if you’re visiting Melbourne.

• Lime e-bikes are available around Melbourne. Riders must wear an approved bicycle helmet. Check the Lime Melbourne website and app for availability.
• Conventional bikes can also be hired from local Melbourne bike-rental businesses, for example.

And, of course, it’s Melbourne…

Be prepared for either a winter or summer bike ride, possibly both! Check the forecast on the day and bring appropriate clothing, sunscreen and water.

Whether you’re attending ISAVFT 2026, the ATS Short Course, or both, come along for an afternoon of learning, connecting and exploring Melbourne on two wheels.
