Our FULL RIDING ITINERARY for the 2023 Santos Tour Down Under will be confirmed after the official race route has been announced. But here is some of what to expect…..
Our 2023 tour will start with a midday pick up from Adelaide Airport, followed by all of the early evening action of the Adelaide street race.
The proposed itinerary for the next eight days includes a combination of rides based in the Adelaide Hills and surrounding areas, incorporating selected stage finishes along with key points along the race route. We love riding along the Adelaide coast (and enjoying it’s cafes) and this is included in the ride itinerary for 2023. The Challenge Tour ride is traditionally on Friday and 2023 will no doubt be the same format – we wait with anticipation for the 2023 distance and route, but expect about 130-150km. The key stage finish on Willunga Hill is sure to feature again for 2023 – and we will be there.
On the final day of our 2023 tour we’ll enjoy a relaxed breakfast, reflecting on what a fantastic week of riding we have had. We will transfer you to Adelaide Airport by late morning.
