Back in January Meg & I spent a few days in Adelaide to catch up with her extended family. We had a really nice time, meeting in my case, or catching up with, all her relies on her Dad’s side. There was lots of nice food, a few beers, backyard cricket and board games.

In between all the get-togethers we managed to sneak off and watch some of the Tour Down Under – which for bike weenies like us was a real treat.

It was a bit hot some days, standing beside the road waiting for the race, and driving around trying to catch the peloton was a bit stressful at times – but it was still really good fun, more than I thought it would be in fact. We will have to see a stage of the Tour de France one day.

I took a few photos, mainly just shot from chest level without looking through the view finder as the riders went past – hence a few cut off heads and so on. Still I got good pics of Mick Rogers, Lance Armstrong, André Greipel (who won), big Jens Voigt, Robbie McKewen, Cadel Evans (world champion – rainbow jersey), and Stuey O’Grady amoungst others.
