Every year in January since 1999, South Australia hosts the "Tour Down Under", held in the tradition of european bike races such as the Tour de France. Six stages are held at various locations throughout Adelaide and the surrounding countryside, because of the time of year there is usually a stage or two conducted in 40 degree heat.
Don't expect to see Lance Armstrong but the big Aussie names and European riders do battle in Australia's biggest cycling event.
