Day 1
Welcome!
Welcome to NSW and the start of your L’Étape Australia by Tour de France experience with Mummu Cycling!
This morning, the Mummu Cycling team will meet you at Sydney airport before 10am. We will then transfer 95km to our accommodation in Kiama, where the start/finish of tomorrow’s L’Étape Australia by Tour de France event will take place.
On arrival, take some time to check-in, refresh and settle. Our mechanic will then prepare or assist with your bike set-up so you’re all set to ride!
This afternoon, we’ll be venturing out on an exclusive course recon ride, guided by our experienced team along part of tomorrow’s route. The ride will be at a relaxed pace, approximately 45km, just enough to get the legs into gear and spin out the travel ahead of tomorrow’s BIG day.
On return, enjoy some down time, before we regather for this evening’s group welcome dinner, carbohydrate rich to fuel those engines accordingly!
*Those that are attending the Ambassadors Clinic starring Amanda Spratt and Simon Gerrans, will be transferred to and from the event before dinner.
We’ll be joined by a local expert that will share knowledge on the parts of the route we haven’t reviewed and any additional tips/advice to ensure you have the best day possible out on the bike, and most importantly – enjoy yourself out on the road!
