Tour Down Under 2010

Start of Tour Down Under 2010 Clare South Australia

I am currently visiting my daughter in Clare in the mid north of  South Australia. This rural town has been abuzz for a few days in preparation for the start of this year’s Tour Down Under cycling race. The first stage started less than an hour ago in the main street of the town.

We positioned ourselves in front of the primary school about two minutes into the race. I figured that this would be a good place to get an uninterrupted view of the riders.

Somewhere in the peleton shown in the photos on this post is the legendary Lance Armstrong, seven times winner of the Tour de France.

More photos will follow in the coming days.
