Fun re-living the Tour
It’s Saturday morning and I just got from the beach and Bacinos coffee shop in Manly. I brought the Bacino boys some Timorese coffee we picked up from Dili which seemed to be a hit!
Chris from Perth, WA, says she's in Timor for the "Tour" not the "Race"
I’m going through the 600 photos and notes I made on the trip today and putting together some stories together for magazines. It’s great fun re-living the Tour de Timor and already it seems a distant memory climbing up into those magical mountain villages with the locals waving their flags and shouting encouragement to each and every rider from 08:30 to 16:00 each and every day.
Stage 4: Betano to Maubisse (coffee country)
We got to meet a great cross section of riders from all over the world, Malaysia, Singapore, Portugal, US, Canada and Australia. Riders at all levels and backgrounds took place in the Tour, from the middle bunch like Chris above to the serious front lineup guys like Neil Van de Ploeg, Scott Liston and Mark Frendo, all riders mingled together in Timor. We have some great shots of the leader pack on stage 4 and 5 which we’ll put on the site a little later.
Whoa dude, what’s this, another tidy little adventure. Look forward to reading the full report.
I don’t want to use the words jealous or envy, but whoops I already have!
And Mr Humphries commenting on your blog, lofty company indeed :)
Great work Dave…first fotos look great, can’t wait to see the hand picked selection from the 600+ (and the article of course!)
Pic’s look awesome, great action shots, looks like a real pro but then we already know that. Can see why you had a great time. MC
