Waitpinga Road Race
A terrific course along Waitpinga Rd and The Range.

Times and Time bonuses:
Finish – 7, 5, 3, 2, 1 seconds
Riders in finishing bunches, where bunches are separated by less than 1 second (this is the gap between the last rider in the front bunch, and the first rider in the following bunch), will all be given the same time for the Stage. Time bonuses (reductions in the finishing time), as shown above, are given to the leading riders in the Stage.
Placings:
For the Stage 3 Road Race, placings and prizes are for both Team and Individual.
The team’s time for this Stage is the sum of the times, including any Time Bonuses, for the first 3 riders only.
For the overall team placings for the Tour, the team’s time for this Stage is added to the team times for the other 3 Stages.
Individual times are given for all riders who finish, and include any Time Bonuses.
For the overall individual placings for the Tour, times for each rider for this Stage are added to times for the other 3 Stages.
Parking:
Parking will be available on a property on Mount Scrub Road – this is at the top of Waitpinga Rd, just prior to the Range Rd intersection (will be sign-posted).
This location has no facilities. We will have some portable toilets at the car parking area.
Feed zone:
For the Stage 3 Road Race, a feed zone point is available for those doing the 87 km course. The zone at the eastern end of Waitpinga Rd (before Blockers Rd), will be marked with safety cones, and open for lap 2.
You can have someone supplying your team with food and/or fluids but this person needs to be an AusCycling member (does not need to be a racing member – just needs a membership of some form).
If you plan to make use of this, you need to register that person with the Race Director by Thursday 23rd Feb 9am: contact president@adelaidehillscc.org.au .
Those providing food/drinks to your team are responsible for clean-up.
Warming up:
For your warm up, please only use Waitpinga Rd or Range Road west of the Waitpinga Road intersection (this is to avoid interfering with riders who are starting the race).
Although Waitpinga road will be closed to cars traveling from Range Road and heading down Waitpinga Rd, they will still come from the other direction heading up the hill so take care.
Finishing:
Please, once you have crossed the finish line:
- Keep left – pull right over to the left
- Check oncoming traffic and cyclists heading up the hill on Waitpinga Rd – keep clear of both cars and riders.
- Return to the parking area by riding single file but stop and move off the road if riders who are still racing, or vehicles, are approaching.
