We can't run a state hill climb this year, so you'll just have to settle with duking it out against your mates for bragging rights. Teaming up again with the Adelaide University Cycling Club to bring you a timed run up the combination of Knotts Hill and Pound Roads, one of the Adelaide Hills’ most punishing climbs. It’ll be a great excuse to get off the trainer and see how your COVID19 induced training has gone!
For the serious, it’s perhaps a chance at redemption from State Roads, and for the not-so-serious, an opportunity to nab some bragging rights with your regular riding group.
We'll be acknowledging achievement, but no podiums or presentations will be held due to COVID 19 restrictions.
For those unfamiliar, the Knotts Hill/Pound combo is a real doozy. Only 2.5km long but with a total elevation gain of over 200m, it’s bound to leave some sore legs come Sunday, with beautiful gully views for the entire duration of the climb.
Sign On: Corner of Knotts/Hunters/Blockers Roads
