Round 6 & 7 - Tour of Loxton
25-26 OCTOBER
Rounds 6 & 7 of the 2025 Cervélo Super Series sees us heading to the town of Loxton for the first time in Super Series history. Proudly supported by the Loxton Council, this will be one of the most highly anticipated weekends of racing you can get here in SA.
Day One of the Tour of Loxton will be a Criterium in the centre of town. We’re excited to build on the successful 2024 Masters & Juniors National Championships with a new and improved course using the very heart of Loxton. It’s a mixture of punchy climbing mixed with quicker flat sections and speedy descents. You’ll be spoiled with race-watching spots and the Loxton Hotel overlooks the course if you need post-race refreshment.
Day Two we’re going road racing on another course adapted from the 2024 Masters & Juniors National Championships. We’ve pieced together 10 kilometres of lightly undulating roads sure to benefit the brave all-rounders who can get their head down and push the pedals hard. It’s all surrounded by lovely Riverland fruit trees and vineyards.
This weekend of racing would not be possible without the support of the District Council of Loxton Waikerie, and the ongoing cooperation of the Loxton Hotel and Loxton Golf Club.
