TOUR DOWN UNDER
20-27 January 2008
The Tour Down Under attracts the world's cycling elite to South Australia annually to battle for glory in Australia's premier international cycling race – and in 2008 it will become the only ProTour event held outside Europe. This action-packed race features starts and finishes in key locations throughout Adelaide and scenic South Australian regions. For the first time in 2008, cycling fans will have more chances to cheer on the world's best cyclists as the event is expanded to include two weekends of elite cycling action. Participants in the Mutual Community Challenge Tour on Friday 25 January 2008 can pedal the same 134-kilometre route between Mannum and Strathalbyn as the world's elite cyclists in Stage 4 of the Tour Down Under. And a shorter ride option of 73.5km from Woodside to Strathalbyn is also available for those seeking a more leisurely ride.
