Adelaide Epic Ride

Introducing the Adelaide Epic Ride

Introducing the Adelaide Epic Ride at the Santos Tour Down Under: amateur riders’ chance to ride the same route as the world’s best.

This new adventure will cover some of South Australia’s most iconic cycling terrain as it makes its way along the same route as the efex Men's Stage 3 stage. It begins in Norwood and is set to wind through the beautiful Adelaide Hills to a finish in Uraidla.

Riders can tackle a mix of fast flats and gruelling climbs, including the tough new Knotts Hill climb featuring for the first time in Santos Tour Down Under history. 

"In my opinion, this climb is equal too, if not harder than Willunga Hill" - Stuart O'Grady

Choose from three distance options: 20km, 85km or the full efex Stage 3 start to finish line of 120km.

Be part of this huge year and secure your spot in the Adelaide Epic Ride. Early bird registrations are open until Sunday 1 December.
