Africa may be thousands of kilometres to the west, but once a year South Australia is just a vowel and a consonant away from the Serengeti.

The vast hordes of Middle Aged Men in Lycra (MAMILs) who swarm through its valleys are a mammalian migration as spectacular as the wildebeest who pour over the grasslands under the hungry eyes of hilltop lions.

South Australia's hills are for growing grapes rather than predatory stalking, but each January they are witness to a display of snorting nostrils, terror-wide eyes and thumping hearts to rival anything you can see on the African plain.

As you can see from my video below, it's not just MAMILs who get to ride a stage of the Tour Down Under, but their numbers can't fail to impress.

You can spot the gathering begin at almost any Australian airport in the week of the Tour as queues of men pushing large rectangular bike boxes form at oversize baggage.

If this begins to sound like something only for hardcore cyclists let me say right away that having experienced it, it seems almost like the perfect event, for reasons I hope I can make clear.
