PACC :: About Us



The Port Adelaide Cycling Club (PACC) was established in 1885 and has faithfully and proudly served the Adelaide cycling community for over a century.

In 2010 we celebrated our 125th birthday!

The PACC has been the home club of many internationally renowned cyclists, including 2004 Olympic gold medallist and Paris-Roubaix winner Mr. Stuart O'Grady as well as multiple national champions and olympic representatives across the last 12 decades.

Our goal is to provide a friendly welcoming atmosphere for beginner riders to find their feet (or wheels as it were) and give them a chance to learn racing skills from our more experienced members. We also like to give those more experienced members a quality of racing for them to excel in. Don't want to race? No problem! Recreational membership to PACC is available also.

We cater for cyclists of all ages, skill levels and disciplines, as we host and participate in road and track racing over the winter months, track racing during summer, and criteriums and time trials all year around. To see the current season's state calender, click here or keep an eye out on our forums for upcoming events and training rides.

We are an entirely volunteer driven club with many people all working together to make it a success.
