Take on the mid-series benchmark at SA Grand Slam #3 Meadows, a cornerstone road cycling challenge based in the heart of the southern Adelaide Hills. Staged out of the rural hub of Meadows, this third event shifts the progressive series into deeper endurance territory. Riders encounter a choose-your-own challenge setup featuring either a 60km loop or a more gruelling 120km course, providing a steep physical test through the undulating terrain bordering the Fleurieu Peninsula.

This middle chapter of Bicycle SA’s signature series holds major significance for riders looking to monitor their mid-year performance metrics. With distances extending well past the early-season parameters, this event functions as a practical bridge toward the double-century finish lines later in the year. The atmosphere at the Meadows Memorial Hall start line balances serious personal objective-setting with the open, collaborative spirit of the wider South Australian riding community.

The courses chart a path through highly varied topographies, mixing steep valley walls with sweeping, exposed ridgelines that are frequently subject to bracing winter winds. Participants must work together in groups to conquer rolling farm country and technical segments on quiet, paved back roads. Full event support follows the packs across every kilometre, providing mechanical backup vehicles, medical teams, and fully provisioned food stops that give every entrant the logistical security needed to push their distance boundaries.
