Day 8 - Race Final/Glenelg Beach

Our group

Our ride today was a short, flat one to Glenelg Beach. We were able to spend the day with our entire group, as everyone opted for the "easy ride" today. We went out and back (24km) by noon in order to be down at the race by 1300. The pros rode a 4.5 km circuit twenty laps today to finish. Once again we had  VIP seating so we had a clear view of the start/finish line completely catered and shaded! I can see why people do these tours, they take all the hassle out of everything. No showing up 6 hours before the event to scope out a shaded spot, no packing your lunch and drinks, no worries about anything except what drink to order.
For Dinner we went out to a tapas restaurant complete with sangria. It was great to sit back and relax with our new found friends and hear about everyones plans before they return home.
