Shifty SHORTY

At most rounds a shorter course option will be offered for those that require a bit less of a challenge.
Entry into the shorter option does not earn any points towards the series and the Shifty Shorty is not a series of its own. This distance is great for juniors or newer riders to the sport.

How the Start works

Very unique to the Shifty Fifty series is our ‘Choose Your Start Time’ procedure. Be you there to race for the many sheep stations or just wanting to challenge yourself this system is great for you.
Shifty Shorty Riders also start with the 50km riders.

10:00 am – Gun Time race start
In this start all riders get the same start time, so be you start on the front line or back of the pack your start time is 10am

10:05 to 10:15 – Rolling start
In this start all riders get a start time based on the chip read from the RFID timing chip. So their finish time is accurately calculated by the difference between the two. So start either at 10:05 or

Insurance at Shifty Fifty Events

All of the event hosts carry a public liability policy allowing the events to be hosted.   The riders do not get any personal medical, equipment or ongoing injury cover from this.  Riders are encouraged to have at a minimum Ambulance Victoria membership and should consider private health or income protection insurance when being part of the sport of cycling.
At the current time the MTBA membership will give you some increased medical cover for a major incident with ongoing costs even in NON MTBA sanctioned events.
