What is 3,430.5 Kilometres or 2,132 miles ?

That's the distance of the Tour de France.

Cadel Evans was the first winner of this race and the reason that I have some bags under my eyes (from the late nights)

Historically he has come his own journey and originally he hailed from Katherine in the Northern Territory. Where I also was born !

What an amazing race of strength and endurance. Regardless if you think in metric or imperial......just imagine how you would feel from sitting so so many kilometres.

These are just incredible athletes and his achievement is just such a feat of strong will after finishing 2nd on two occasions. Very well done Cadel !!

I wanted to write a few words about the latest offering from GOOGLE. This is their latest social networking play and I'm really impressed with the clean interface and speed of access. Scoring a invitation a day after it opened; I noticed that this was on sale on eBay for 99 cents through to $17 !

The features of Google + are impressive and I think it is a winner. In particular I like the Circles and the privacy that this provides vs Facebook.

It was a little strange in those first days..when my connections and their content was not in place. Now when I look and see the content (whoa) That's incredible....how quickly there are photos and the number of connections (despite my reluctance to accelerate these)

After downloading their iPhone app which was released a whole week after the launch...it's amazing how quick we expect things to be put in place.
