Invictus Australia – Adelaide Epic Ride

THE RIDES!

136km, 116km, 63km rides – AT A GLANCE!

• 136km – 6am Start

This is the real deal – from the beaches to the peaks, you’ll ascend 1800m from Henley Beach to Nairne.
This is a proper test for the legs and the lungs, with relentless rollers, sweeping descents, and some signature sting-in-the-tail climbs that’ll sort the strong from the stubborn. This is a showcase of South Australia’s cycling pedigree — challenging, scenic, and undeniably Epic.

• 116km – 7am Start

This one doesn’t pull any punches, with over 1600m of climbing, it’s a ride that bites back. Expect a relentless rhythm of rolling ascents, quick descents, and stunning stretches that’ll test your pacing and endurance.
The route carves its way from Flagstaff Hill to Nairne like a ribbon — picturesque but punishing — offering glimpses of charming townships and sweeping vistas that almost make the pain worth it.

• 63km – 9:30am Start

Don’t let the shortest Epic Ride fool you… this one still hits you. With 63km of windy road with lumps along the way, this is a ride built for those who like their challenge condensed.
Riding from Meadows to Nairne, this is perfect for riders who want the bragging rights without the full-blown bonk.
