A mellow day and a half here in Melbourne, Australia. Not much to report as nothing has happened. I haven't seen any kangaroos.

We're 18 hours ahead of Davis, California so it's already Saturday here. This afternoon we're headed to Ballarat for the crit. Tomorrow's stage starts there as well.

A little known fact, this is not my first trip to Australia. I was here over 20 years ago to visit my mom's uncle.
