Cyclist and BBB have partnered up to launch the 2018 BBB Spring Classic Competition. A celebration of the world’s toughest one-day races – the Spring Classics – and to help keep you motivated throughout the cooler and darker months, Cyclist and BBB invite you to share your Classics photos using the hashtag #BBBSpringClassic.
While those of us Down Under are spared from the bone-shaking cobbles of Belgium and the eye-rattling pavé of France, many of us have that one special climb, road, cycle lane or back road happily claimed as our own. If it’s special to you, we’d love for you to share it with us.
Simply upload your photo to Instagram or edit the caption of a recent image and include the hashtag #BBBSpringClassic (note Classic not Classics) and you’ll automatically be in the mix to win a whole bundle of stellar gear from BBB. Winter jackets, arm and leg warmers, lights, gloves, eyewear and more. Scroll down to see the full mix of goodies on offer across the competition period.
At the end of each week we’ll pick the winner we believe best showcases their ‘classic’. Remember, it doesn’t have to be ‘epic’, nor does it have to be the hardest ride of the season. We just want to see how you celebrate this special time of the year.
The competition is live right now so hop across to Instagram and tag your pics with #BBBSpringClassic for your chance to win some superb prizes. But wait there’s more! We also have a major prize to give away. To go into the major draw, simply fill in your details below, tell us your favourite Spring Classic moment (in 25 words or less) and you’re in the running.
You’ll find the entry details for the major draw below the list of weekly prizes.

We love this shot from Melita Van Steel (@sketss88) and her use of the term ‘groad’, one we hadn’t heard of until recently. We totally agree, groading is the rage at the moment. A BBB lights bundle will be on its way to you shortly.

We’ve long been in love with Canberra and Sam’s shown us exactly why it’s such a marvellous time to be a cyclist. We are also all too familiar with the blisteringly cold temperatures experienced in Canberra during the winter so this accessory bundle will be going to a very worthy home.

It doesn’t get much more Spring Classic-esque than packing up for a night under the stars. With winter very much here, we’re confident Alanna will get plenty of use on the road and trail.
