Something tells me that pink isn't your favourite colour...

Just noticed a post on FB by the Port Adelaide CC vice prez that was suggesting that there will be a Roller Frenzy held on the TDU Tuesday night. If you're looking for entertainment, this might fit the bill! Stay tuned

Not long to go now!
There's been a few reports of pro riders being spotted training here already.

here's the Roller Frenzy event that I mentioned previously:

Cant wait. Work is pissing me the fuck off. And I havent had as much bike time thanks to a saddle sore, so the ride like crazy ride will be a challenge.

this might be good too

Giant inflatable bicycle has appeared in the centre of the CBD .. getting close now

A few shots from the Santos Cup and the People's Choice Classic last night:

Based on what i was just seeing on TV, he was at Glenelg for the stage start this morning

I (and my family) will be watching at the Inman Valley Rd, Armstrong Rd, Maude St (etc.) intersection round-about. It's a great place to watch the riders race through the round-about on the way in for the first time, and then watch them come racing around the corner when they do their circuits.

Sorry norbs, I checked, I didn't bring a spare hat. :-(

Looks like it might get a bit damp down that way! Good photo opportunity!

Great photos Carl!

Crook as Rookwood.

Here's a few highlights from my afternoon watching people sweat.













Please be kind when critiquing, these shots were all taken with a Samsung Galaxy S6.

Great shots everyone !
My shots for the Classic and Stage 1 were taken with my Pentax K1, while Stage 2 shots were taken with my trusty point and shoot (Canon A590).

Listening to the thunder outside, I think we're in for a damp night. Might be interesting for the Challenge Tour riders in the morning.
