The Santos Tour Down Under peloton and cycling fans will once again descend upon the City of Onkaparinga for Stage 5 of the 2014 Santos Tour Down Under. Record attendance numbers are again expected with thousands of people set to line the course to cheer on their cycling heroes and Stage 5 is more than just a cycling race, it’s a party – and you’re invited! Travel the race route and let Stage 5 take you on a tour of our city’s stunning and diverse landscape.
The race will start at McLaren Vale, our famous wine region with world class vineyards, cellar doors and restaurants. The riders will then head south, only a short trip to our stunning coastline at Aldinga Beach which boasts clear gulf waters and one of our pristine beaches. As anticipation builds for the hill top finish, follow the peloton as it travels around the historic township of Willunga.
