Well it is on! Midday and the athletes gathered at the Crowne Plaza and under a brass band fittingly playing "Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines" marched up Centre of Canberra. The Centre of the Mall was closed off with a crit track and after they had a welcome to country, pollie welcome etc. athletes from 40 countries cheered as the Aussie Flag and the UCI flag were raised.

Here are some photos of the events with tomorrow it kicking off in earnest with XCO training until midday, DH training and the World Championship Relay.
