For the seventh year a group of cyclists led by Dr Simon McRae and Andrew Atkins will ride as Team.Factor to take on the 2019 Challenge Tour in South Australia on Saturday 19 January 2019.
The 2019 Challenge Tour will be from Glenelg to Strathalbyn, just over 158.70kms. Challenge Tour riders will tackle the same route and on the same day as the professional riders in Stage 5 of the Santos Tour Down Under.
Team.Factor’s chosen charity is Haemophilia Foundation Australia.
Last year after many months of training their ride was cancelled due to extreme weather conditions – so this year they are all ready to go again.
You can support Team.Factor on the day at the check points or you can make a donation at – https://give.everydayhero.com/au/team-factor-2019-challenge-tour.
If you would like to cheer the team on at key location points, let us know at hfaust@haemophilia.org.au.
