World champs - Moorabool St already blocked.

[Mark Kelly]

It's getting close: they've already blocked off the finish area on Moorabool St to build what I suppose are temporary stands and the podium.

Some of the local traders aren't too happy, apparently golfing types are too lazy to walk half a block to the Drummonds on Moorabool St. It's not all bad, one of the cafes reported selling 18 egg and bacon rolls to the construction crew at breakfast time.

I've got a mate who works in G-town and he's been told to work from home for the next 2 weeks...

He's not a cyclist, but is pretty happy the Worlds are coming to Melbourne
