Introduction
The inaugural Mt Lofty Challenge is a mass participation community bike ride open exclusively to 4,000 recreational cyclists to ride over 35km of closed Adelaide Hills roads, including up the South Eastern Freeway, closed just for this event, for the first time ever in South Australia. You'll enjoy a police escort to the bottom of the Freeway and get to ride through the Heysen Tunnel on this special occasion. (Check road closure information for details)
You can start and finish in the CBD, or if you want to cut out the hill climbs you can start at Summertown. There are five distance options - 110km, 80km or 60km or 50km or 30km (The standard route to Mt Lofty, starting and finishing in the CBD is 50km). There is even an Escape Route, so you can by-pass the challenging climb to Mt Lofty but still get to ride up the Freeway. Once you finish back at Hindmarsh Square in Adelaide you can celebrate with family and friends in the event village - a bustling hub of activity with live music, DJs, kids' entertainment, demos, expos, food and drink. You can play, picnic, party, promenade and pedal in a network of safe, closed roads. Ride Details. Limited Edition Event Jersey
