You may ride in any helmet that meets the current Australian standards, but if you are looking to purchase a new helmet, please make sure it complies with the standards that will come into effect from 1st January 2029.

What are the new standards?

CCC Series Scoring

I have had a few enquiries from riders who have pointed up during the series on how the levelling up scoring works!!

Great question! Firstly congratulations to all combinations pointing up!

The CCC Series requires that you complete 4 of the 5 Rounds to be eligible for the overall series placings. This is to encourage riders to support all participating clubs.

If you point up to be eligible for your new level you must ride in 3 rounds at that level. You can take your best placing from the level below to make up the 4th round.

If you have any questions or want anything clarified please send me a message 😉

Remember to get your entries in for Round 4 & 5 with Portland and District Adult Riding Club @
