Top End Tour: Day 1 Road Race

After my experience at a 3 day road race, I'm starting to go beyond what people would call normal. My usual 40km road rides do not give me a kick anymore. The standard is now 85-100km on a saturday morning.
Anyway, here are some picts of the road race:
Day 1: 80km road race followed by 20km time trial in the afternoon.
Race brief in the morning. Hanging in 3rd place within the pack.

Here's what you get after a road race and lunch. Tired cyclist.

I never ever buy softdrinks and only drink them 'socially'. But I gulped finished a 1.25L within the hour.
