Race Info

Transponders: For the time being, and while common transponder arrangements are being settled between SA clubs, we will only be using the AHCC-branded seat post transponders at our events. You can purchase a transponder and corresponding jersey number for $16 that can be used at all of our events or hire for $10.

  • Location: Gumeracha Town Hall, 45 Albert Street, Gumeracha
  • Course Map: with location details plus Strava profile HERE
  • Racing starts at: 9am
  • Rego desk opens at: 8am
  • Race format: Graded scratch racing
  • Entry: Entry is open to anyone aged 19 and over holding an AusCycling All-Discipline license, or junior riders able to ride in senior AusCycling events (you don't need to be a member of the AHCC to enter).
  • Junior riders:
    U19 riders: all good to race with us in any grade.
    U17 riders can also race with us but you need approval from AusCycling first. For this event, due to distance limits for U17's the highest grade you can enter is C-grade. If you are normally an A or B-grade rider, just enter as C-grade.
    Junior riders must comply with AusCycling gearing restriction and it is your responsibility to ensure this is done. Check the technical regulations HERE

  • Free Trial ride: Coming for a free trial ride?
    Free trial rides are for those new to AusCycling racing, don't have a full licence as yet, are interested in joining AHCC, and want to have a try before getting a full AusCycling licence and joining the club.
    To arrange your free trial ride:
    (i) Go to the AusCycling web site to set up your 4-week free trial licence HERE: Select SA as your State, and Adelaide Hills Cycling Club as your nominated club.
    (ii) Then nominate for this event and choose the trial ride option when entering.
    We will then be back in touch with some more information for you about the event.
    If you already have a full AusCycling licence but just haven't raced at AHCC before, the free trial ride doesn't apply so just enter this race as a normal entrant.
