Had a day off from the tour today - riders all resting and getting ready for Stage 1 tomorrow. Phil had to pick up his Community Ride rego package so we headed into the Official Tour Down Under Marquee opposite Victoria Park. The Hilton is adjacent the marquee and is where most, if not all, the riders and team personnel are staying. We saw Phil Leggett getting interviewed in front and then a half a dozen of various teams arriving after a morning session. No sign of Lance though - maybe tomorrow? While Jen and the crew did some wandering (and Phil tried in vain to find parking for his van with coffin box on top) I headed back to the caravan on my bike to work on my presentations. Haven't ridden for a while and the legs weren't full of much zip - will be good to get in some mileage over the next few days and see if they loosen up a bit. Tamra has us organized to do a community ride with some of her friends tomorrow night - 2.5 hrs apparently - with Pizza as the post-ride reward - may be a rude awakening for Jen and I? Kids are well - albeit a bit on the hyper / defiant obstructive side of things - but I'm sure this will soon straighten itself out (maybe with a couple of really long bike rides?)
Hi Wade and family
ReplyDeleteWe were happy to hear from you yesterday. Dean Eyre and Nicole dropped in from Whitehorse, Yukon.Nicole has some responsiblity representing the Arts from the Yukon over the Olympics. Aron Sandbeck and beau Simon Fraser also stopped in for dinner and a visit. Errol was here for dinner as well and so we had a great time catching up with the Mitchell family. Craig and Bob went hunting for flooring for Craig's condo as he is now ready for the flooring, all wood, I think. Today we replaced our old fridges in he garage as another "green action"..We I must get going as I am playing bridge this afternoon then I am off to the gym. Have a great time in Adelaide!
