Cycling event heading to the Limestone Coast next month

More than 200 cyclists will take in the sights and sounds of the Limestone Coast from October 14–22 this year as part of Bicycle SA’s Annual Tour.

The 2023 event has sold in advance, indicating strong interest in both cycle tourism events and the Limestone Coast as a destination.

Participants will travel from all over Australia – and some from overseas – providing an excellent opportunity to showcase the region to interstate visitors.

Bicycle SA CEO Brett Gillett said cycle tourism was a major driver of regional development in the state and events like this could leverage the investment made by the state in the Tour Down Under.

The ride schedule includes daily opportunities for cyclists to sample local produce and take in the stunning scenery and attractions of the region.

Starting and ending in Mount Gambier, the ride takes in Beachport, Robe, Kingston SE, Naracoorte, Penola and Coonawarra. There is also a rest day that will allow riders the chance to visit the World Heritagelisted Naracoorte Caves.
