A shop at 118 Oxford Street has been converted into a "Tour Lounge" for the duration of the Tour de France (seems to be Mon-Fri). Anyone up for a ride there to watch a stage live and drink coffee/wine? Maybe Friday 13th?

A few links with some info.
Tumblr link.

Facebook link.

City of Sydney link.

I'm going to an info session in the city (6-8pm), so I don't think it makes much sense for me to come back to Marrickville to go back to the city.

So I'll see you there.

Time depends on if you want to meet Mike Tomalaris (9-10pm) I guess.
