Adelaide Hills Cycling Club

Adelaide Hills Cycling Club (AHCC) is a friendly and inclusive road cycling club bringing riders together to race and ride across the Adelaide Hills and surrounding regions of South Australia. The club caters for a broad range of ages, fitness levels and racing experience, from riders lining up for their first event through to experienced and elite competitors. The club's roots date back to 2007, when the idea of establishing a cycling club specifically for riders in the Adelaide Hills was first proposed. It was incorporated in January 2008 as the Adelaide Hills Veterans Cycling Club, initially catering for veteran riders. In 2021 the club affiliated with AusCycling, became Adelaide Hills Cycling Club, and opened its membership and racing to younger riders. Rather than operating from one permanent race circuit, AHCC makes the most of the fantastic road riding throughout the region. Its calendar takes riders to courses around Gumeracha, Mount Torrens, Bradbury, Balhannah, Macclesfield and other locations, with a mix of road races and hill climbs showcasing some of the Adelaide Hills' best cycling country. Racing is graded to cater for different abilities, so you don't need to be an elite cyclist to get involved. Riders with a suitable AusCycling licence can enter AHCC events even if they belong to another club, while newcomers to racing can use AusCycling's four-week free trial to experience an event before committing to a full racing membership. One of the highlights of the club's calendar is the Tour of the Fleurieu, first held in 2013 and now a major two-day teams event on the South Australian road racing calendar. The event combines four stages – including a time trial, road races and hill climb – across the Fleurieu Peninsula, with divisions catering from elite men and women through to graded riders. AHCC is also expanding beyond racing, with social bunch riding becoming a growing part of club life. The club has run dedicated women's rides and has been developing a broader program of AusCycling-accredited ride leaders to provide social ride opportunities for members across different fitness and experience levels. Behind the racing is a volunteer-driven community with a strong emphasis on friendship, sportsmanship, inclusion, safety and simply enjoying cycling. Whether you're looking to try your first road race, find friendly graded competition, join a social bunch or test yourself on some of South Australia's most beautiful cycling roads, Adelaide Hills Cycling Club is a great connection to the road cycling community of the Adelaide Hills.
