2025 Juliana Gravity Girls Race Series

About the Race Series

The 2025 Juliana Gravity Girls Race Series is a four part women’s race series aimed at introducing women to racing in a supportive environment and fostering an interest and understanding of racing so that they can enter the current racing pathway with confidence and knowledge.

There are competitive entry categories for those who want to challenge themselves and enjoy the opportunity to race against the clock. The competitive categories are open to all females 10 years and above who have a current AusCycling All-Discipline or Off-Road race license.

There are also non-competitive categories for those who want to experience the event and ride on closed trails in a structed environment without the pressure of competition. The non-competitive categories are open to anyone with a current AusCycling All-Discipline or Off Road race license OR an AusCycling Lifestyle membership.

Riders using a one day or 4-week free trial license can enter competitive and non-competitive categories.

Race 1 - Dual Slalom - Friday 21st February, 2025

Eagle Mountain Bike Park

About Dual Slalom

Adapted from skiing, dual slalom pits two riders side by side, racing down parallel trails. After the first run, riders swap tracks and race again. Both runs are timed, and the rider with the fastest combined time wins the heat! The knockout format continues until we crown our final winner.

Non-competitive "just for fun" categories will see riders go down the trails one at a time.

Entry Categories & Fees

The following female categories are available:

Category
Competitive A Grade
Competitive B Grade

Please check the following things before you enter.

You do not have to be a member of Gravity Girls SA.

Bring your license card / digital membership with you to sign-on! If this is your first try at racing you can get a FREE 4 week trial membership (only for people who have not held an AusCycling membership in the last 3 years). The 4 week trial membership commences from the day you sign up to the trial, so if you are considering a trial membership and wish to compete in a couple of the races of the series, we suggest only commencing the trial a day or two before the first race. You can also buy a day license.
