See if you can spot hippy in the crowd..
I was in the grandstand for the women’s race yesterday and I’m going back to watch the men race today. It’s frickin’ awesome! The crowd is so pumped with a mental MC (with some english!), scantily clad women riding lots of bike porn, crashes, beer, more bike porn in the stalls near the race, beer.. you get the idea!
Aus had a women in 3rd and around 10th I think. Never heard of either of them.
There’s quite a few Aussie guys racing. Should be good.
AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!!!!

Haha you’re turning into a triathlete hahahahaha!
Watching all those fit women ride past made me think about running, just for the potential to "train" with them 😛
Then I came to my senses, found a bakery and the balance was restored! 🙂
