Temporary Nomad

Down Under Classic 2009

Adelaide’s been buzzing for days with the start of the Tour Down Under for 2009. And we’ve had a bit of the action too. I took Freya down to the end of the street to watch the opening night race around the parklands – but it was a bit close to bedtime and a bit busy, so after only 5 laps we came back home. But this morning we got our fix – the entire entourage, teams, support vehicles and all cycled casually past the front gate as we watched. Freya gave them a bit of a wave.

It’s a couple of years since I saw the Tour de France go past, but it’s nice to know we didn’t have to give up everything when leaving Europe.
