Health Partners Men's Stage 2: Norwood to Uraidla

Incline? You bet. Stage 2 promises 148 kilometres of all-out effort as cyclists race from inner-city Norwood to Uraidla in the Adelaide Hills.

Three huge climbs are on the agenda, with a grind up Norton Summit followed by a visit to Mt Lofty and the men’s first dual ascent of notorious Corkscrew Road.

Two sweeping loops through communities including Crafers, Piccadilly, Lobethal and Cudlee Creek will keep the world’s best busy – and anything is possible as they make a last push to the line.
