This is part of the BikeSA Grand Slam Challenge series. See the whole event series here.

Event #3 heads south through the Adelaide Hills' McLaren Vale hinterland, departing from Meadows Memorial Hall for the mid-series step-up. With distances of 60km and 120km, this is the ride where the Grand Slam Challenge begins to show its teeth.

Classic Adelaide Hills scenery, quiet country roads through stone-wall paddocks and vineyard edges, and the full Bike SA support infrastructure make this one of the series' most scenic and satisfying rounds. If you're building toward the Grand Finale, Meadows is the ride that confirms you're on track.
