UCI bike Race in GEELONG Yeyh

Only watched the races on TV but I thought Geelong looked great. I think last time I was there it was raining but it really looked like a different place. Well done, I say.

On my first visit to Geelong (mega years ago) there were signs on shops 'God shops here.' Locals know what I mean but I was completely confused at the time.

FYI there were a total of four courses at the UCI event:

1. The Elite Mens Road Race - Running from Geelong to Melbourne
2. The Geelong Road race circuit - entirely in Geelong.
3. The Time Trial Elite circuit - entirely in Geelong.
4. The Under 23 Time Trial circuit - entirely in Geelong.

Four circuits - three of them in Geelong and the fourth starting in Geelong and finishing in Melbourne.

As I've correctly already stated...the event has been widely advertised in bike mags as a Geelong event and I stand by that assertion. Ive just done a quick Google and it was also widely advertised as a Geelong event on numerous sites.

Kiwi all courses were in Geelong, Elite mens started in Melb came to Gelong and did 11 laps of the course 15k or something like that.

Best thing to happen in geelong since they won the AFL grand final.

Best advertising world wide for Geelong & Australia.

Only once in a lifetime down under so the wowsers will have nothing to complain about again but they will welcome the extra people visiting geelong and spending their tourist dollars.

Wowser was originally a slang expression, most commonly heard in Australian and New Zealand English. It originated in Australia, at first carrying a similar meaning to 'lout', i.e. an annoying or disruptive person, or even a prostitute. In around 1900 it shifted to its present meaning: one whose sense


So they are different to annoying little garden gnomes are they?

Yes I agree....the best part of any bike race is the end...I love a good sprint :D

One stage of the Tour Down Under goes past my house.....it happens every year. I can't get my car in or out of my driveway for the best part of a day. A bit inconvenient but the TDU brings in a huge amount of tourists and their money to SA so I don't have a great objection to the event and get into the spirit of the race. This year I even rode one of the stages...a good excuse to get on a bike and work off some fat.
