The devil made me do it.

A snapshot from just past the halfway mark on the "Cycle like Crazy" ride.

Beachside cruisin'

As a rare passenger in this car dabbling with photography while someone ELSE is driving has its appeal.

Down Under Ends

The 2012 Tour concludes with a win to Simon Gerrins from the newly formed Aussie team GreenEDGE after entering the final stage with an equal time with Movistar's Valverde.
Well done Aussies on your win and thanks to all the amzing cyclist from around the world, for a fabulous cycling spectacle in the beautiful Adelaide Hills.
"On yer bike" everyone!

Stomp...Out loud

Let's make some noise!

Earrings

Hmmmm. Everyday apparel?

Miss Innocence

Cycle Clown

The "Tour" is not just for those in lycra as this clown entertained the 100s of kids lining the streets of Norwood to watch the start of the next leg of the race.
Wonderful atmosphere and great publicity for our fine state.

The Tour Down Under hits Stirling

 In perfect weather the "Tour Down Under" left Loebethal and did the mandatory 150 kms which included 3-4 laps around Stirling.
The crowds were revved as a new young blood from Uni S.A was way out in front (11 minutes) with the potential to not only win the leg but take out the entire "Tour" in the one race as his lead was so great.
Amazingly the Pelaton caught up with him in the final 2 laps leaving him a mere one minute lead at the finish.
Well done Will Clarke from Tassie...a previously unknown rider who only just made it onto the tour at the last minute.

Riding Like Crazy

Rosie's coloured glasses

After a week of summer school cabaret intensive Rosanna sang her heart out to a packed audience at the Promethean and a few tears were shed.

Pylons from the past

These old pylons are all that remain of the jetty built in 1853 and extended to 145 metres in 1857 when Port Willunga was one of the busiest ports in the young colony of South Australia

Keeping it close to home

Cosy front yard camping at Port Willunga in the pop-up so we can check out what we need/don't have for the next more adventurous sojourn.

Reuinion time

So great to catch up with the Brummitt twins, Jules and Ros, at Port Willy, after too many years. Fabulous! Fiercely competitive and fun articulate opponents too.

Ride Like Crazy

What were we thinking!!!
We've signed up to ride on Sunday for cancer...Andrew 106kms and Lynwen 52 kms.

Spiders

This year for some reason the spiders have been thriving and hence the task of cleaning cobwebs seems endless. I feel a little
uncomfortable
though when hundres of babies are kiled in the process as the daddy-long-legs everywhere have been breeding like crazy.

Camper renos

Having "acquired" a pop-up camper from the generous Prescotts we are now busy renovating, repairing, and cleaning in anticipation of a camping trip to try it out.

Riding to justify breakfast.

The girls kick back on the half-way mark of their training ride at the Aqua-Caf.
Next Sunday...Ride like Crazy. 52 kms from Woodside to Unley..should be a piece of cake...lol

Berlin New Year

Tim and Jemma celebrate the New Year in chilly Berlin, also ablaze with fireworks."One million people in the streets, pocket sized bottles of absinth and affordable fireworks for the whole of Berlin...Hell of a way to start 2012"

The sparklers blaze, the revelry begins.

Sparkler Bombs and New Year

Trying to light the sparkler bomb in the breeze proves to be a wee bit tricky as the clock approaches midnight and the end of 2011.

Thirsty Koalas

Already the koalas are thirsty.
On the ground looking for water.
It may be another difficult summer for them.

Blue seas and wailing (not whaling)

Kayaking on the crystal clear blue waters of Horseshoe Bay...but for some reason...Errol is NOT happy.
