Daily Rides
We offer a guided ride each day. We have experienced local Adelaide riders as your bike guides joining you on the road. We also have a support vehicle with a driver.
We will ride to and from the hotel each day to engage with the day’s stage, the support vehicle will always be close by in case of any mechanical issues, or if you are not feeling up to riding the whole distance. On some occasions we may have 2 ride options for the day, these will be communicated as short ride and long ride.
Transportation
We will have the support vehicle close to the riding group at all possible opportunities. The support vehicle will carry day packs for riders along with sports hydration powders, water, some refreshments and tools for mechanicals.
If the day’s stage is a long distance that we can’t safely cover by bike we will arrange additional transport, see itinerary for details.

This tour involves riding to and from the hotel daily and includes watching each stage live – mostly from our road side marquee in a prime position.

Riding Ability: Ride 2 to 3 times a week / Average ride distance: 50km+ kilometres | Average ride elevation: Comfortable with 1000+ meters | Average Riding Time: Comfortable being in the saddle for 4+ Hours
My fitness and experience: Fitness is central to my life. I ride my bike regularly every week and am comfortable with rides of 3-4 hours or more at a relatively steady pace. I enjoy all-terrain, with hills and some moderate mountain passes. I like getting some speed on moderate descents.
