Round 3 of the Pedla Crossfire Cup was as good as CX racing gets! The rain over the previous week meant that the course was muddy, but the sunny day meant that it was still fun to race. The return to Mulch Hill on a course expertly mapped out by Troy was a massive hit, and we're sure to come back again next year!
'Olives and Kitty Litter' WOW! What a great day of racing in the Adelaide Parklands! We were stoked to break the 150 entrant number by Friday night and thrilled with the huge number of juniors on the start line. The future of cyclocross in South Australia is looking brighter than ever! It was great to return to the iconic Ityamai-Itpina / King Rodney Park aka 'Olives and Kitty Litte'r with its undulating and feature packed landscape that delivered some great racing for the riders and spectators alike.
What a race, what a venue at Cross Keys BMX and Unity Park!
A stark contract to last year with riders enjoying shorts and T-shirt weather, on a fast and flowing course that got grippier as the day went on. Both Women's and Men's current Elite Aussie Champs were victorious in their respective events with Bec Locke (Vic) and PACC's Tommy Chapman (main pic c/ Turn8 Photo) looking like he did it easy. J19's were won by Maddie Wasserbaech (PACC) in a breakthrough 'cross win for her, and James Stamp (Brunswick CC).
Marky G had dubbed this one PB Sunday and conditions were picture perfect for the penultimate race in the PACC Zero Friction Cycling Time Trials series this summer.
We've reached the end the three-race Gritty City Critty race series filling in the gap in regular criteriums. We hope you're gee'd up for more!
Gritty City Critty finally was treated to some summer-type weather with dust, rather than water ingress testing out the club's timing equipment this week. Skids all round!

Great TT conditions for the first race of the 2023 Zero Friction Time Trial series with cool but not cold conditions and a light breeze greeting riders.
