Le Petit Tour De L'Angleterre
The Tour of France rolled into Town today so we trooped off to Green / Hyde parks to join the million odd people who had the same idea. I'd already done two spinning classes already so you'd think I'd be bored of it by then. It's a bit different though - these guys only cycle for less than 9 minutes - I had to do it for 90 minutes!!! To be fair they are travelling at 60 kph will I remain entirely stationary!!
The view from the back of the crowds wasn't too great though so I hoiked (it's a word!!) myself up the nearest lamppost for a better view. It's possibly not the most exciting sport in the world but it's maybe the only time it will start in London and certainly ticked the something different box. Unfortunately the Lewis Hamilton of the British Cycling world, Bradley Wiggins, couldn't quite live up to the hype but still finished a respectable third.Now it's just a matter of living up to it's name and getting back onto French soil - easier these days now they've got the tunnel but not a very exciting stage to watch I would think!!
