The Annual Dirt Crit finale and BBQ

Rego from 5:00 pm, at 123 Gouger St, Torrens

BBQ after ~ 7:00 pm (included in race rego fee)

The Mt Taylor Hill climb has been run since 2004.

Record holders on the current course are Zoe Cuthbert (16:18, 2021, breaking Bec Henderson's 2011 record by 5 seconds) and Charlie Brodie (13:42, 2017). The course was modified and made easier in more recent years; the record holders on the original course (that no longer exists) are Dylan Cooper and Niki Fisher (both 2006).

The course starts just off Athlon Drive (https://goo.gl/maps/LQo2ZdSRmww88cKL7), heads around Mt Taylor (anticlockwise) for 3.6 km, then turns left up the brutal 1.25 km, 167 m (avg 14%) climb to the trig at the top of Mt Taylor.

Regular Critters and folks just wanting a blast up Mt Taylor are welcome.

2022/23 Dirt Crit series awards will be presented at the BBQ, along with crowning the new Mt Taylor QOM and KOM.

For the Hill Climb we will revert to separate A, B, C and D grade races with no handicaps, and the result will not contribute to the overall series results.

We ask that all entries are pre-entered to make it easier for us. If you forget then we can enter you on the day, as long as you have AusCycling card and $5 for us.

All participants must be AusCycling members. This includes all juniors. AusCycling membership ensures all riders are covered for personal accident and public liability insurance (including when not at Dirt Crits). AusCycling does have a four week free trial membership: AusCycling | 4 Week Free Trial Membership
