About:

Join competitors of the ADF Adaptive Sports Program cycling program on their training camp to create a simulated racing experience ahead of the Invictus Games in Sydney in October 2018.

Criterium races will be held at Victoria Park in the afternoon of 12 May and are open to B, C, D, and E grade male riders and women of all categories (J19 and up).

Worried that the State Time Trial champs are on the next day? Don't worry - these guys and girls will be there as well!

Riders on tandems, hand cycles and other para athletes are welcome and encouraged to enter in order to provide a race day experience to athletes and provide a suitable mix of skills and abilities to complement and push the Invictus competitors further in their journey towards the games.
