Old Willunga Hill has entered cycling lore as the stage that determines the overall winner of the Tour Down Under - the first World Tour race of the calendar year.
If you are visiting Adelaide you would be crazy not to experience this iconic ride. Our route takes you on an easy ride south to the wine region of McLaren Vale. At the 60km point, we start the 6km climb up Old Willunga Hill, with an average gradient of 7% and short sections of 13%. From here we trek along the hilltop Range Road to Mount Wilson and then enjoy a number of smaller climbs and descents on the way back to Adelaide where you should enjoy a well-earned beer or a nice McLaren Vale red.
