The Daily Tour The genius of the Tour Down Under is that it is based out of one location - Adelaide, South Australia. Sure, many of the world’s best cyclists are here to race, but that is not what makes this event fantastic. Atmosphere is what makes the Tour Down Under special and that is created by the people who visit the event. It cannot be bought but it’s here. The locals, the people from regional areas, interstate and international visitors create the atmosphere. And that is what makes the event. The Daily Tour - photography from around the race, capturing some of this atmosphere. It’s not a visitors or cyclists guide to the Tour Down Under, it’s a snapshot looking at what is going on in Adelaide and the surrounding regions. This includes the regions, iconic Adelaide and race KOM climbs, around the cafes and some pro chasing. People on bikes. Published daily from Friday 17 January for 10 issues, you might get your photo in it. Follow on Facebook and Twitter. Drink water. Hope the heatwave goes. Enjoy this small piece of the Tour Down Under. And if you couldn’t make it to Adelaide, just pretend you’re here....... Bigguy thedailytour2014@gmail.com

Welcome to my Adelaide.
Friday 17 January 2014
Adelaide is my Aussie summer home, my cycling home and my training ground for Europe. Born and bred in Sydney the sea change at 26 years of age was a calculated decision to become a world class athlete. Adelaide was my Launchpad – A quieter city, less expensive and a gateway to relentless traffic free terrain of the Adelaide hills, McLaren Vale and the Barossa which soon became my workplace toward European success. The Adelaide cycling community have been an incredibly important part of my development as an athlete humbly receiving support from the South Australian Institute of Sport, local produce suppliers, bike shops, gyms and of course local coffee shops! I still choose to reside here in Summer months while I prepare for Europe and remain adamant it is one of the best cycling cities in the world! Rachel Neylan www.rachelneylan.com

If you have been following the weather in Adelaide, you’ll know there has been a heatwave now for a number of days. On Tuesday 14 January the day started with extreme heat and ended with rain, thunder and lightening. But no let-up on the heat. Image shot at 4.30pm from South Terrace, Adelaide.
