It appears that for the first time there was only one start location in Geelong. The Saturday afternoon run to Apollo Bay via Paraparap, Bambra, Whoorel, Birregurra and Gerangamete. The Sunday return to Geelong went via Beech Forest and Jancourt with lunch near Gnotuk (west of Camperdown), then Corindhap. Dereel, Ombersley, Amrytage and an excellent final section south of Winchelsea.
