 So I am in the almighty Adelaide for stage one, TDU. Stage one isn't until later this evening so we're not riding out to the stage today. We're just gonna have a coffee this morning. It's gonna be a stinker so get out early, come back, chill and then watch the stage later this evening. Let's get into it. So future me talking here in about five hours time with 110Ks in the legs. I just wanted to be clear with you before this series gets started. You'll see a lot of content crowd is spending a fair amount of time here in the main city of Adelaide where all the pros are and all the new tech, new bikes are, which is pretty cool. But personally, I'm not really interested in that. I like to go out and ride and enjoy the stages. So the goal of this series is really to bring you along on that journey. So let's get back to it. We've just knocked out 100Ks on the pedals pretty hard and we're just heading into the magnificent suburb of Glenelk. So the other thing I love about the TDU, external to riding out to the stages is having a few beers and socializing in the afternoons and look what we have here. The cycling, is that the cycling Maven? People, how are we? What are you doing here? The same thing you are here with Zwift. We're here with Zwift. So we're sponsoring Young Riders Jersey for men and women's for this tour. So first time officially being involved with TDU, we've come to TDU since I started with Zwift in 2017. So it's great to finally partner with the event and be included in that. And obviously with Zwift Academy, linking that into Young Riders Jersey and supporting future talent. And you've got a van. Yes. Maven's in the van on Thursday. Yes, looking forward to that. Thursday and we have you Cam in on Friday. So, yeah. What's the purpose of the van? The van for you guys is to have that VIP experience. You get to go along to the race and at the end of the day, obviously we'll stop and capture parts of the race that you want to focus on, whether that's the hill climb, King of the Mountain, Queen of the Mountain, or the Sprints. And then we'll head to the finish and on behalf of Zwift, you'll get to present the Young Riders Jersey. Oh wow. Yeah, so it should be good. Did you know about Maven? I didn't know actually, yeah. Maven hasn't read the email. To be honest with you, I'm just here. I'm just loving being away from the kids and just having a couple of beers and so life's good. Thanks, Wes. Tonight we had the prologue. So obviously it's a pretty technical course for the men tonight. So yeah, I think it's gonna be really interesting to watch and we've got yourself and Maven having a bit of a view from the corporate box and you have the big screen. A few beers. Hopefully a few beers. I've got that. I've got the camera as well. Just in case I watch you doing it and I get a bit of foam up. You know, clay can get rough. You've got to get up, keep going. I'd have been knocked down a thousand. You can get it right. You can get it slight. You can feel it coming on about four. So I've just left the hotel room, croaky voice. Maven likes a beer. I like a beer. We had too many last night, but that's okay because today we're going out to Tananda. I think that's what it's called. 140 on the cards. So let's get into it. Greg Wiggins manages the RCA social media member success and also one of Australia's top sprinters. We were just freezing our ass off the plan was to watch part of the stage, but too cold. So we're riding back to Adelaide. Too cold. Just snapped. Unbelievable. So what is that? Is that the? Yeah, the spindle. The spindle. Yeah. Yeah, she's full. She's full cooked. Yeah. So what are you going to do? You're kidding me. I've never said that before. Have you said that before? It didn't sound good either. No. I've seen Shimano cranks like snap, but never a spindle. Actually, you're kind of lucky to happen where it happened. Cause like you were pedaling down to sand. I can't remember from here down in Gorge. Yeah, that could have been real bad. Well, I've just asked Craig for some goodies and he's pulled out a big bag of white powder. What is that, Maven? Maven. Gojuice. Gojuice. Put it in your bottle. There's 75 grams of powder. I'm trying to change the location. Just stay on the line. You put the whole bag in. It's going to fall off. Yeah, yeah. Go with the wind. Share the love. Gojuice going everywhere. Camera. There you go. Thanks for my appreciate that. I'm just rolling back in Adelaide now. Almost 150 Ks on the clock. Another big day. And I've got to say in all my years of road cycling, 13 years, I think I've never heard anything like that nor seen anything like that. I hope that bloke's okay. Wife didn't sound too impressed. I'm not sure if it's because of the wind. I'm not sure if it's because of the wind. I'm not sure if it's because of the wind. I'm not sure if it's because of the wind. I'm not sure if it's because of the wind. Wife didn't sound too impressed when he was requesting to be picked up. So that's two stages down. And I feel like I've demonstrated to you, in my opinion, the best way to do the TDU. And that is, you ride out to the stages. You ride long each day. You have a few beers with some friends. And you repeat. It's as simple as that. Quickly, for anyone in Adelaide that may like to join myself and we've got three RCA staff, Georgie, Ryan and Craig here on Sunday. We've got an organized RCA ride out to the stage. I'll put some details below if you wanna check it out. We'd love to see you there. I'll catch you in the next video.
