Plan your trip from Magill to Paracombe

Get the most out of your day by exploring this stage's surroundings post-race.

The Queen stage of the women's race will start on Magill Road for the first time - where Adelaide meets the foothills. With plenty of cafes and shops to explore, it's a great vantage point to watch the peloton roll out 11:10am. 

From there, the race heads into the Adelaide Hills, beginning with the iconic Norton Summit climb. This 10km ascent offers sweeping views back to the city and is a prime location to catch early race action. 

Along the route, you will find local favourites perfect for a coffee, glass of wine or something sweet. A great spot being Lobethal's Main Street, which is the site of the race's first sprint. 

The stage will finish in Paracombe at approximately 2:49pm, where fans can watch the peloton pass four times, before a massive final push following the fifth Queen of the Mountain.
