An eventful week with plenty of social rides mixed in with some action from the pros.
Day one's introduction after a quick warm up was a 12km ride up Greenhill Rd Hill...ouch!
After watching the tour roll into Rostrevor on Wednesday, we hooked onto a passing wheel and hitched a lift back to the city with Astana, Lotto Belisol, FDJ and Lampre Merida...Brilliant!
Hills, coffee and more hills seemed to be the theme for the week...with Adelaide offering fantastic views throughout the countryside. We hit the Corkscrew a day later than the pros and suffered through the gradients at the switchbacks.
Another Greipel victory broke up a 215km epic Friday ride to the Barossa Valley and back. The headwind on the way home was challenging.
The tourists tried out Old Willunga Hill on Saturday before Gerrans took a memorable victory in front of thousands.
All together a great week and one to look forward to next year.
