From January 17 to 24 the world's best cycling teams will light up South Australia in the first race of the prestigious UCI ProTour 2010 world cycling calendar.

Ride stage 4 of the Tour Down Under UCI ProTour, departing only hours before the professional’s official race start. The Mutual Community Challenge Tour is part of the Škoda Breakaway Series, the official recreational ride program of the Tour Down Under.

The Mutual Community Challenge Tour is ideal for social, corporate or sporting teams looking for a challenge with a difference. Your team can share in the experience and excitement of riding a stage of the Tour Down Under. Each team member will receive a special team jersey to wear while participating.

It’s a challenge – not a race. This event is for regular cyclists who can make the distance – will you make it to the finish before the professionals arrive?
