In January every year the worlds cycling elite head to Adelaide in South Australia to compete in the 6-day long Tour Down Under.

The top European teams use this race to begin their intense racing and training phase for the European summer season. The Tour down under is the only UCI Pro Tour bike race in the southern Hemisphere, giving you the chance to see your favorite pro teams racing and possibly even ride with them.

This Tour offers unprecedented access to the racers at the start-finish areas and at the Tour Down Under Village set in down town Adelaide. Since 2008 our customers and guides had the chance to met Greg Henderson, Tim Gudsell, Hayden Roulston, Tour de France star Robbie McEwen, Paul Sherwin, and 5 times Tour de France champion Miguel Indurain. Some of our clients were also lucky enough to ride with Team CSC, George Hincapie, Team Lampre and a host of other superstars.

In Adelaide you can ride, sip coffee and rub shoulders with the stars of world cycling. The stages are set around Adelaide and the famous wine areas of this region, mixing the culture of wine with the culture of cycling.
