18/6/3 Hours of Melrose

Organised by Bike Melrose

New this year, choose your own adventure. Enter 1 or 2 events ie 3 hours at night, have a sleep, then do the 3 (or 6) hours day OR the traditional 18-hour slog. We can't start a race at noon on Friday because a lot of folks work. We couldn't finish at noon Sunday and expect people to stick around. So, we start at the practical time of 10pm Friday night and we race through the night, to finish on Saturday at 4pm, with plenty of time to hang out, do another ride and celebrate the weekend in Melrose SA. That, coupled with a racecourse that runs right through the camp, will make this a special time for all. Race headquarters will be at the Camp Kitchen, Melrose Caravan & Tourist Park. If you intend to camp, you must book and pay. Day parking will not be allowed on the western side of the creek. 18hr riders - Start at 10pm Friday, finish at 4pm Saturday 6hr riders - Start at 10am Saturday, finish at 4pm Saturday 3hr riders - Start at 10pm Friday : Finish at 1am Saturday AND/OR Start at 1pm Saturday : Finish at 4pm Saturday. The course will be marked and open for practice from 2pm Friday Presentations outside race headquarters will be as soon as reasonably possible after race finish, then hit the pubs for dinner!
