Tour Down Under > Quick Wrap!

Well, we survived another week of action! The 2010 Santos Tour Down Under was a great success for the event organisers, the race itself and for all those who experienced it with The Adventure Collective.

As a quick wrap up, our team looked after a total of 178 people over the duration of the week! And did a most fantastic job of it at the same time.

Huge thanks go out to...

Ben: for his logistical genius and getting everyone to where they had to be at the right time!

Andy, Kate & Brianna: for being the best lunch crew ever, feeding hungry cyclists and spectators with delicious and wholesome food!

Sujai: for getting all the bikes safely to/from the big ride!

Emma: for being calm on the surface and paddling like crazy underneath!

And most of all, to our fearless leader, long-time TDU supporter and our constant motivator, Peter Solly.

Here's what some of our delighted customers had to say:

"Just a quick note before the daily grind wipes the smile off my face. Judy and I both want to thank you for making our Tour Down Under experience a fantastic one. For the second year in a row you delivered everything you promised and more!"
