ZFC Hillclimb: Montacute Road – New Date

For the final TT of the Zero Friction Cycling Hillclimb series, we’ve got something a little spicy…. Montacute Road.

It starts off sedate with rolling off from Maryvale Road and you’re left wondering where the climb is. Wait for it. Keep pedalling. Keep waiting. Cross the bridge. Bang. You’re on a climb. It starts. And stops. And steps its way up to Cherryville. Then you’re riding down a hill. And then you’re climbing again. Then, and only then, it’s over.

Being a hillclimb event, this is an individual time trial. Riders set off at 30 second intervals, organised by grade and presentations are held at the top of the climb after each grade’s completion.

  • Tell your friends and get them to come along – the hillclimb events are a great ‘gateway’ event for getting started racing.
  • We have grades for all abilities and skill levels, from the incredibly fast to the not-so-fast. All welcome.
  • Free trial races are available.
  • UCI legal TT equipment is allowed but not required.
  • More info on the Zero Friction series is available here

Entries and event info are via Entry Boss here.

If you have any questions just DM us or email president@adelaidehillscc.org.au and we’ll be back to you pronto!

Forreston Road Race – 15 August

Racing is back! We’re kicking things off next Sunday (15 August) with a race at the familiar Forreston circuit, starting off in Gumeracha.

If you haven’t raced this one, it really is a cracker. And if you have, you know it’s good, so hurry up and get your entry in. The short Martins Road climb can be decisive, but equally critical is the long drags that can allow a strong bunch plenty of time to claw back any gain on the climb.

As such – it really is a very open race that can go to strong sprinters, skinny climbers or breakaway specialists.

✅ We have grades for (literally) everyone. We have grades for racers all the way from the elite to the not-so-fast.
✅ If you’ve never raced with AHCC, a free trial race is available. Why not give it a shot?
✅ AHCC racing is cheap – $10 for your entry, plus transponder hire if you need one

AHCC – a big 6 months under AusCycling!

Hi everyone

 

It’s now been 6 months since the AHCC joined AusCycling!

 

A big thanks to everyone who has made this move so successful for road cycling here in SA: our volunteers, committee members, riders, the team at ACSA, family members and friends of the club.

 

We’ve run two road races each month, including our 2-day Tour of Goolwa, using some terrific courses in the Adelaide Hills.

Over 320 riders across the AusCycling community have come along to our races, with riders ranging from National champions through to new-comers to the sport.  We continue to cater for riders of all abilities, something that we highly value.

 

The second half of 2021 has a full agenda of events, including the Hill Climb series in July, plus we have added 2 new road-race courses to the calendar – Harrogate and Fox Creek. Check it out here: https://entryboss.cc/calendar/ahcc

 

We maintain our strong focus on event safety and our volunteer ethic. There are plenty of volunteer opportunities so check out how you can help out and how to get in touch with us for more info: https://www.adelaidehillscc.org.au/volunteer/

 

We always welcome feedback so please feel free to get in touch with comments, ideas or suggestions.

 

Onward and upward!

 

Kind regards

Sarah and Don
