Australia, Mate!

Just got back from a few weeks Down Under - going back to where I lived for 3.5 years.  It still amazes me how clean the capital cities (Sydney, Adelaide) are.  In Sydney, it seemed like there were a lot more bike lanes then when I was last there 7 years ago, and a lot of commuters using them.  In Adelaide (where I lived), the cycling culture seems to have really picked up.  People of all shapes and sizes, some cruising, some hard core; more bike shops than I recall, too.  I wonder if this is an effect of the Tour Down Under becoming more prominent on the Pro Tour.

While I didn't get a chance to bike, I did some running and swimming in; tried to find a tri or running race to jump into, but no luck.

Oh well - I guess sometimes a vacation can be just for fun...
