Tour Down Under First Weekend

The Tour Down Under Village in Victoria Park opened today and we were there. Unfortunately the team tent was not open which was a big disappointment.
 
 
It's Carol's birthday and we have a busy day planned of non-birthday events. First up, CJ must bike across town to register for the Santos Classic Family Fun Ride.  It's run on the Santos Classic course at noon.  Later in the day the Ladies conclude their TDU on it and even later the men initiate their TDU on it.

During the same time as registration is open, there are children's age-group races being held on a course near the Start/Finish line.  The children participating have event shirts.
 
 
CJ rides in the Santos Classic Family Fun Ride.  It was so interesting watching the families and their children, some very young, some even sleeping in special bike rigs.  Even with the course crowded with families and children, CJ got in a good ride.
 
 
After the ride we have lunch at the Belgium Bar to allow CJ to recover.  CJ rides to the apartment while Carol takes the tram.
Carol turns up lame and returns to the apartment while CJ braves the sun and heat to watch the Santos Classic in 99°F and full sun.
