Touri de Timor
Race
The Tour de Timor is an international mountain bike race, held in stages in Timor Leste.
Famed for its smooth seaside rides, gruelling climbs, spectacular mountain views and unprecedented crowd support, riders will be treated to a rare and special insight into Timor’s unique geography, environment, people and culture.
Roads across Timor-Leste vary from smooth modern bitumen roads, gravel mixes to dirt and mountain bike tracks. Beware of the odd spectacular pothole!
Sail Darwin - Dili

In 2013 a fleet of 10 yachts and 60 crew set sail for Dili, Timor-Leste, at 10.00am on Saturday 13 July in 8-10 knots of breeze, making for a great spinaker start. Mango Madness from Darwin, skippered by Bo Whaton, was the first yacht over the start line, followed closely by Gameset and Australian Maid.

DILI NIGHT LIFE: SUNSET FAIR
