Surprise!

Hello friends, this is my first post and I have a lot to share=). I can't blog alot as there is a limit to internet usage here, so bear with me.

Anyway, the trip here was not a very smooth one. We got delayed 2 hours, yes 2 whole hours at Changi Airport, lost some precious time with THE family and friends. Then due to this delay, at Brisbane, we missed our transfer to Avalon, Melbourne. We thought we were finished for a moment. We had 2 options: 1 was to take a flight to Tullamarine (80km from where we want to be compared to 15km from Avalon) which Qantas offered for free, the other was to fly by Jetstar which we were suppose to but pay 120AUD. We decided to go for the latter, which was a blessing in disguise bcos the lady at the counter took pity on us and decided to give us the tickets for free! Oh it must be blessings from somewhere...

Finally, met David at Avalon and we drove to pick his room-mate aka German guy aka Klaus (will blog about him sometime soon, as you all should know about Thomas...) from Baum Cycles and guess what? Met Mr World Champion aka Cadel Evans and took a pic with him. I walked in and my eyes fell out when I saw the fella sitting there, it was so unbelievable. We then went on to watch the men's criterium and some guys called Aaron Kemp won it. Nice violent sprint finish=). Robbie McEwen was pretty impressive but he dropped out of the race, bcos he was constantly working as no one wants to close down any breaks and he decided to stop.

Yesterday we rode 3 hours, David brought us around, nice cool weather but sun was scorching hot. David got a puncture and we stopped by the World Championship Road Course, some random hill and I saw a rainbow jersey guy cycling by. It was none other then Cadel on his BMC racing, not looking so lean but somehow the rainbow jersey makes him look good anyway. We went grocery shopping and bought a whole cart load of stuff ( copy calvin and lem).

Rode 5 hours today to the beautiful-jaw-dropping-Torquay Bay and then the World Championship Time Trial Course. Very tough with some climbs. Adi bonked.

Ok thats a mouthful but I'll update again guys! In the meantime, to all my teammates, train hard and eat well! Am going to do the 2hours ride as long as you can on the road course for the Nat champs tomorrow. Wish me luck!

To my love ones and family, I love and miss ya'll especially mi amore. Love you always. Ciao.







This is the world champ and the no champ. World's apart?No just 2 inches=).
