Bass Hills Classic

We are looking forward to the Bass Hills Classic ride in 2012.  Previously known as the Bridge to Bass Hills the ride now offers an optional run component providing the perfect training ground for Melbourne Ironman participants.

The common feedback from riders in this event has been the enjoyment of riding on quiet roads with the hills, twists and turns providing plenty of challenges.  100% of all routes this year will be on country roads.  The vistas are superb with coastal and country views adding to an unforgettable feeling.  A choice of three rides are available at 72km, 112km and 152km.

This year we will provide complimentary refreshments and snacks either side of the ride and a subsidised Aussie BBQ post ride sponsored by Gravity Zero.  


Marquees / Tents: Triathlon clubs and cycling clubs are welcome to set up an area with their club tent and gear for their members to use on the day.  Please contact David Rooks on 0418 115 935 or  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Questions


Can I enter on the day?



Yes you can.  However, to help with the organisation of the event and to save you time at registration please enter online prior to event day.   Cash entries are accepted on the day.

Am I insured for the ride? 



The Bass Hills Classic is covered by public liability insurance, but this does not cover accidents caused by individuals or other riders. It is recommended that you have personal accident insurance or medical cover along with ambulance cover, or a suitable level of health insurance.

How challenging are the rides and how fit should I be?

All rides will feel longer than their advertised distance due to the hills experienced.  Though this is a recreational ride cyclists must be physically prepared to take on the Bass Hills.  The course map and profile show the challenge of the ride.

I have a question.  Who do I contact?
