Tour Down Under – Day 1

Today was the first day to go for a ride and check out some racing.

The ride was a flat one, to get me ready for the Norton Summit Challenge tomorrow. I went down to Glenelg and then North for a while til I found a quiet place for a coffee.

Cracking 1st day on Radelaide. #cycling #morningride #cubecycl #tdu #roadtrip

Then it was back into the Hilton to grab a press pass courtesy of John at The Velocast.

Possibly the most far flung associate member of @velocast thanks @wjohngalloway #TDU2016 #roadtrip

If you would like to cast an eye over a few more, check out the gallery here.

Tomorrow is the Norton Summit challenge, so I hope this fuzzy head is just tiredness, and not the onset of a cold.
