I think I am going to give this years TDU a miss. Reason being, I want to get a better bike before tackling bigger rides like this. I hope to get a better one by mid this year and be able to tackle the 65km leg of the Amy's ride this year. I will however be checking out one or 2 of the legs of this years TDU though. I'll probably take off half the day for the Norwood leg, and another day for the McLaren Vale leg.

But yeah, just prefer to get a proper road bike before I tackle the TDU Bupa tour rather than rely on the FBR/hybrid bike.
