I could have sworn it was “chucker” hill after 500m of climbing it!

We were in the Village across from the Hilton today. It's pretty good in there. The mechanics are all there working on the bikes and there's an expo set up as well. I'll post some photos if I get a chance.

Great idea Chester. For anyone who is deciding between coming out for the Worlds next year or the TdU, I'd definitely recommend the TdU. The riders are relaxed, it's very simple logistically, you can get some great riding in, etc. The Worlds will be great, but I can't see it being anywhere as awesome as this.

Thanks for sharing Nathan. Glad you're finding some salvation from the cold. It's only a couple more months before the tables will be turned!

Dame – Looks like we should have ditched the ladies and ridden out with you Wade!
Great photos too – very different from the run of the mill press photos.

Cadel not using Gaerne shoes and Lance not using Shimano pedals? What is this world coming to!?

The fan pics and "inside the tent" ones of George and Lance are great. As a Dad, I'd be pretty happy if I could get one of my urchins like that kid's pic. Well done James.

The ride home with the Pro's is an awesome concept too. Can't think of another sport or another place where that would happen. My nephew's still smarting from being fresh-aired by Lleyton at Heathrow a few years ago, all credit to Robbie McEwen etc.

Any shots of outside the Hilton where the Pro's are staying? I hear the temporary bike workshops by the team mechanics etc are great viewing.
