Introduction

WE KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST CROSS SEASON!

We’re throwing a dress-up cyclocross fundraiser event for Lighthouse Youth Projects! Join us for some fun under the sun in the park for a good cause on Saturday November 30th 😈 Proceeds from event entries and bar sales will go to Lighthouse Youth Projects so they can keep up the excellent work they do helping young people find their direction and stoke on life through the power of bikes!

🎃 There are multiple cyclocross rounds on offer and some feats of strength planned for those whose talents lie elsewhere.

🦇 The Giant Adelaide crew will be on site to give you some hot bike and cyclocross tips.

🧛 We’re keeping everyone hydrated at the bar with boutique sodas from Mischief Brew and refreshing beers from Bridge Road Brewers!

👯 In between the action you’ll be able to keep yourself moving by dancing to tunes thanks to DJ Cookie from Big Bao Club powered by a NW Group audio system!

🧟 There is a best dressed prize thanks to The Pedla and Knog so dress up and get creative!

🤝 We’re collaborating with Port Adelaide Cycling Club to build the cx course and make this event happen.

📸 Greyhound Media will be on site capturing you in all your high resolution spoopy glory!

So dress up, let your hair down and come play bikes with us!

Timing

There is no timing at this event. Officials' decisions are final. Leave your transponders at home. Use your own device if you really want to know your lap times.


Sign On

Sign-on will be contactless. Please visit the rego desk at the bar and have your name checked off before going on course for the the main practice session. Ensure you have your race number on before entering the course.

Riders must have signed on at the rego desk more than 20 minutes before race start so we know you're at the venue. Riders must be ready to start and congregating at the muster point next to the start line 10 minutes before the allocated race start time for the Commissaire’s instructions. Riders will be seeded based on best dressed, literally. Riders will be called up one by one to the starting grid at ~5 minutes before the scheduled start. If you miss your call-up, you will start from the back of the field.


Event Day Reminders:

  • No license, No Ride - Riders need a current license. Licenses may be checked at registration, so please bring your license or proof of renewal on the day.
  • Announcements – Keep your eye on your emails and our social media for any important announcements ahead of race day.
  • Respect the venue - we're racing in a natural area, warm up in areas to minimise damage to the vegetation.
  • Covid-19 - consider your actions and how they impact upon others. Stay home if you're sick. Give yourself a chance to recover.
