Today we took up the offer of Uni SA and went along to “Tour the Tour” at Stirling. Uni SA (as usual) did a great job of entertaining us on the buses up and down from the city and the Stirling Pub served up excellent platters and wine .
We had Sophie Edwards on our bus on the way up. She’s in the Aussie training squad and told us about track cycling (pursuit in particular) which is her specialty and about what it is like to ride with and for a team. She is only 19 but managed the questions really well and was very informative.
It was Kate’s last full day in Adelaide for this holiday, and we enjoyed having her along with us. Here she is with Trevor waiting to board the bus to Stirling at the City West campus.
The big screens made it easy to see what was happening at Stirling.
The town was looking great, with a carnival atmosphere.
We had great company inside the hotel and then could go out and watch the race when we wanted to.
Delicious food supplied by the Stirling Hotel.
Maybe Sophie will give the insight next year – I think she could.
The crowd get into the excitement in their “TDU” gear . Lots of Lycra around.
And Caleb Ewan makes his final breakthrough to win the sprint finish and take the race leader jersey after a last pileup only a few hundred metres from the finish line.
Another fantastic TDU experience was greatly enjoyed.
