As the evenings get darker and the winter cold sets in, AusCycling is keeping the competitive wheels turning with the return of its cycling esports series.
The AusCycling Club Esports Series pits cycling clubs against each other in the quest to be Australia’s number one.
Starting on June 9, the AusCycling Club Esports Series will run on Tuesday nights for six consecutive weeks.
Participants of all abilities will ride from the convenience of their homes, doing their best in their category to contribute to their club’s points tally.
The Club Series will be immediately followed by the AusCycling Masters Esports National Championships on Tuesday, July 21, where national titles will be awarded to individuals in each age category.
In order to be eligible to race the National Championships, riders will need to complete at least two rounds of the Club Series.
There’s an extra sweetener thanks to event partners JetBlack: two lucky participants in the Masters National Championships – one man and one woman – will win a JetBlack smart trainer.
All seven events will take place on MyWhoosh.
