The first big event of the TDU was the Lance Armstrong "Twitter" ride which was dedicated to the flood effort in qld and all involved twittered to donate money to the Flood Relief fund in Qld. A good idea, if you haven't already, then donate some cash to the fund.
I got a Prime place to take some shots and say hi to Lance - I was very excited..... :-)

| Lance was signing autographs at the start of the "Twitter" ride |
 |
| Lance practised his Aussie slang, with a Gday and a Cobber (who talks like that), and then shared stage with Mick Rogers, teammate Robbie McEwan and Stuart O'Grady |
 |
| All the riders said a few words with a safety message being a common theme |
 |
