Event Description
To celebrate the Tour Down Under in Adelaide in 2013, we are proud to announce the Red Deer Grand Brevet during Stages 1-5 of the event between 20-27 January 2013.
This is a 500km challenge, where a 100km course to complete will be held on each of the 5 major tour stages. You will be required to finish at the designated time together after deciding when you need to start.
It is anticipated that in the week preceding the event, three distinct speed groups will be set up. We will all meet at Victoria Square at the same time and stagger our departure time to suit each group's speed.
Once the race has finished, we will ride/train back to the Tour Village and kick up our heels.

Well where to start, what an awesome week riding some of the state’s best roads for cycling with a great bunch of people. Visited some great bakeries consuming many a calorie that was promptly burnt straight away. If you ever call into the Mylor Harvest café try one of their spinach, pumpkin feta muffins. You may be mesmerised by some tassels there so be warned :) (ask Michael Bland about this)
Big thanks to AVO for organising the event and to all who completed any of the brevet’s over the week. Huge kudos to all that completed 5 of the brevet’s, especially Georgie for her big effort over the week.
Finally relaxing with an ice cold coopers sparkling ale makes it all worthwhile. Look forward to riding again with you all sometime soon.

That was the most intense and challenging week I have experienced on the bike. I achieved more than I thought would have ever been possible.
So many beautiful rides and monster climbs. Thanks Steve for organising it and thanks to such a wonderful bunch of supportive and encouraging people that made the hard bits easier xx

What a whirlwind brevet that was, took me to different hills that I never saw & kudos to everyone who completed the challenge. The beers are going down the hatch nicely & not going to touch the bike for few days
