Event Overview
The Gidge C is an Australian Time Trials Association cycling time trial held at Gidgegannup in Western Australia. The 2026 edition is scheduled for Monday 6 April, with the event listing describing a 39km “Hilly” course. The meeting point and toilets are at Gidgegannup Primary School. The course is positioned as a scenic, challenging route and is a regular ATTA fixture used for time trial results and records.
What the Course Demands
Gidge C is defined by repeated changes in gradient, with a number of significant climbs followed by descents. The course profile rewards riders who can sustain power over longer rises while staying controlled on faster downhill sections to avoid losing time through variability. Over 39km, pacing discipline matters, particularly through the middle kilometres where rolling terrain can encourage surges that are hard to recover from later.
Who This Event Suits Best
This event suits riders comfortable with structured time trial efforts on a demanding profile rather than steady, flat pacing. It generally favours athletes who can handle extended climbs, recover efficiently over crests, and maintain speed after descents. Riders newer to hilly time trials can still use the event as a benchmark, but should expect a more complex pacing challenge than flatter courses.
