Another brilliant day for Riding with the Stars. Big numbers again showed at Queen's Park in Invercargill to accompany the stars of the 2011 Tour.
A huge number of cyclists, young and not so young brought their bikes along for a lap and were "all in" when the prizes were being handed out.
In a new concept the Official Team's Presentation was also held at Queen's Park on Sunday along with the start of the 2011 Tour itself with the Team's Time Trial.
Calder Stewart did the business taking out the first stage but as you can see from the photos to the left, loyalties were divided amongst the crowd.
After the Riding with the Stars each of the 19 PowerNet Tour teams were introduced to the crowd.
31/10/2010 - A huge turn-out of Tour riders and the public (young and old) to rub shoulders with the riders from the 2010 PowerNet Tour at Queens Park today. And what a gorgeous day for a ride in the Park!
