Tour Down Under Final Weekend Tour
This was my second trip to TDU with SB.
Another amazing week with great Adelaide rides. Lunch & refreshments were provided after our rides at the finish locations. Wonderful staff Shannon, Oli and Ash. Group dinners and 5 star accomodation to boot.
Looking forward to next year !!

Tour Down Under Final Weekend Tour
Seriously loved my 4 days exploring Adelaide with the Sportive Breaks team. Was a great way to experience The Tour Down Under. The whole itinerary was exceptionally well organised and designed. The riding and support team were excellent and a lot of thought had obviously gone into to the daily routes but also the activities outside of the pedalling. I’m already looking at options for my next adventure!
