by Escape Collective 12.01.2024 More from Author +

Welcome to the unofficial Tour Down Under calendar, your complete guide to the real goings-on at the Tour Down Under. We have the race schedule, of course, but also group rides, parties, car park hill climb – it’s all here so you always know what’s going on.

We’ll post every day throughout the TDU. Each post will include the following day’s calendar. If we missed something, email [email protected] with details.

This calendar is based on the superb work of Escape Collective member David Rossi and repurposed with his permission. Make sure to check out David’s iconic All The TDU calendar here.

What to check out from Escape Collective today:

Go for a spin with Chloe Hosking

“Chloe reached out to us about collaborating on a ride as part of the Tour and we were stoked to be involved. It’s unfortunately rare in Australia that our former pros invest back in the sport so what Chloe is doing is truly special. It also aligned really well with long our investment to get more women involved in the sport, so we were more than happy to do what we could to make this ride happen.”
