Ponderosa Pines – A new gravel race to decide the 2025 Australian national champions

Brendan Johnston in the Australian national champion's kit rides to fifth at 2025 Sea Otter Classic Gravel.

Tiffany Cromwell (Canyon-SRAM zondacrypto), Rebecca Henderson (Orbea Factory) and Brendan Johnston (Giant) will target a green-and-gold Australian national champions jersey on Saturday at the AusCycling Gravel National Championships. This year's event will be held at Ponderosa Pines in South Australia.

Last year Johnston and Courtney Sherwell (Santa Cruz) claimed the titles in Tasmania, at the Devil’s Cardigan. Both are racing the Life Time Grand Prix series this season and Sherwell will be staying on in the US, leaving the way open for another to chase the women’s title. 

Johnston, who is in his third year in the US-based competition, is back home as he targets a third national gravel title after having also claimed the jersey in 2022.
