Tour Down Under, Stage3

19/1/2012

 
What a great day in South Australia today. With a short ride today with the Rapha mob along the beach and returning to Unley for the start of stage 3.  We had the Saxo Bank and RadioShack-Nissan team van's, parked just outside the coffee shop we entered. Seeing Jens Voigt outside signing autographs and getting his photo taken with fans, Von from Team Kosdown was not about to miss out. Jens who is very obliging with his time, as are most of the professional cyclists, which is really nice to see,so Imagine my surprise when Jens and some of his team came and sat at the table next to ours. After mustering up the courage to ask Jens,he signed the back of my WestEnd Bike Hub Jersey. I've got a photo of him signing it thanks to Von but I might not post it until I've photoshopped my bald spot.
After the race got underway I rode back to Glenelg and jumped in the ute and headed for Victor Harbor via Goolwa, leapfrogging  the race so I could see them from 2 different locations. Here are a few pics from today and I wont bother with any race reporting as there are people much more experienced with that side of things and you've probably already read what happened.

Von,who is also a competitor in the Mt Buffalo Challenge, has her photo taken with the legend himself.

Not to be outdone I got my Jersey signed.
