The Hell Ride is an informal training ride that follows the coastline of Port Phillip Bay through the south–eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It meets at 7am on Saturdays at the Black Rock clock tower, Black Rock and heads south towards Mount Eliza along Beach Rd.

The ride has been widely criticised[1][2], particularly after the death of pedestrian James Gould in August, 2006.[3][4]
