Event Description

Still time to register the the Boileau VeloAdelaide - http://www.bikesa.asn.au/VeloAdelaide

On Sunday 18 March, we are closing over 35km of Adelaide Hills roads, including the South Eastern Freeway so you can ride it with your mates!

Ride the S.E. Freeway all the way through the Heysen Tunnel on the Mt Lofty Challenge and get sponsored for The Smith Family or enjoy the free Family Fun Ride around traffic-free streets in the city, for the inaugural Boileau VeloAdelaide.

Whether you chose to ride the Mt lofty Challenge or the free Family Fun Ride, everyone gets to enjoy the car-free Adelaide city streets, transformed into a bustling hub of activity with live music, DJs, kid's entertainment, demos, expos, food and drink. Plus lots of streetscape you can call your own.

Would also like to thank all the riders who fundraised for The Smith Family. Last night we passed the $50,000 mark. Regards, Graham Jaeschke, GM of The Smith Family

Comment by Michael Fraser on March 17, 2012 at 12:52: I have tried creating the VeloAdelaide course on Garmin Connect however it will not allow me to use the freeway. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to force the route up the freewaynusing Garmin Connect (only allows the old road as Freeway is ghosted on the Garmin map) ?

Comment by Just another psycho-list on March 17, 2012 at 0:17: @ Michelle, no, but Bicycle SA were very kind and have credited the ride payment for this one and the Grand Slam series for future events. They let me still buy the jersey. :-)

Comment by colin ware-lane on March 16, 2012 at 17:24: @ fluiddelta riding the event without paying is a NO GO even if the roads are mainly open to the public,its just not fair on all the people who do the right thing and support bike sa.
