Tour Down Under

I got my first official fix of the Tour boys today!

We got there early and saw several of the riders up close, like Stuart O'Grady

Jens Voigt

And Cadel Evans.

It was awesome.  After the riders were gone, we headed to the pool for an afternoon of swimming, fun, and laughter.  We had a ball, but came home when we realised that despite reapplying sunscreen several times, we were all burnt.

For dinner we decided to make pizzas. 

This one is mine.  I used Refried beans as the base and topped with tofu, capsicum, mushrroms, sun dried tomatos and spinach.  Ross went spicy and added ham and chilis, and Kayla went basic with ham and pineapple with a tomato base.  We all loved them.

Not sure what tomorrow will hold.  Hopefully we will get to the TDU Village in the afternoon.  Other than that, I will let Kayla decide.

The Tour is Here!

Tour Down Under is here!  I love the Tour!  I was just out the front of the office putting our signs out, and the Caisse-Epargne Tea, came riding past on a training ride.  My oh my those boys are fine...  swoon...  LOL

Last year I was lucky enough to be a volunteer on the public ride day.  What an amazing day we had.  Talking to and seeing so many cyclists.  Although I am not participating as a volunteer this year, I am hoping to catch some of the action.  I have a couple of days off next week and have my niece staying with me.  I am hoping to go and see the start of stages 3 & 4, and maybe drop into the city to see some of the final stage as well.  I will also make a trip into the Tour Village at some point.

How I love this time of year!
