Tour of Britain cycle race 2018

Thats right LD look out for me , if its sunny i shall be wearing my straw hat , and a lime green top .

I will do. I will wave at the tv.

Look out for me too!
I’ll be the one gesticulating! :twisted:

I wonder where your at,it goes through the pannier market here.

From my bedroom window.

They’re hete tomorrow noonish I think.

Don’t blink or you will miss it. :wink:

ITV4 are showing the race live every day for the whole route, so once it’s passed, get yourself indoors and watch the repeat on ITV4+1. You might see yourself.

Just as our house came into view though, the camera swung left slightly so we couldn’t see us waving out of the window.

I was considering going outside but there was an elderly woman leaning up against our door and I was worried she would fall in. :-p

This should give you the times TessA. They are pretty accurate although a few cyclists fell before the official start this morning so they were delayed by about five minutes.

Fabulous shots LD,
Our Council has given a Yellow and Green colour code to put up and support , And old Bikes painted Yellow are popping up along the route, as well as Yellow Ribbons tied here and there ,
I shall take some photos soon before the Bikes mysteriously disappear .

Its good to support Sports of any kind and with English and Welsh Riders doing well in the Tour De France , its going to be a good race …
Pity Mark Cavendish is not riding …

It did look strange seeing them go through the market but interesting. Apparently the riders were not expecting it.

My question is, did the team cars go through as well or did they go another way.

This is what you will see during stage 7 ,

a couple more

Thanks Eliza. Yes, shop keepers have done similar displays here too. I remember last year they made a real effort too, only to get completely blanked b the TV coverage.

Im sure the Cyclist in the race will appreciate whats done …Unless they are use to it and blank it all out …

I like seeing the field displays that are put on in France …

:mrgreen:

Apparently there was a streaker up the Gorge during the cycle race. I’ll try to post the video if I can find it!

Was it a selfie?

It was an exciting few minutes , when they raced through our village .The Police came first sirens blasting to let us know the Race was close by , then a few Support Cars , Then the break away group came and then the main Bunch …I stood well away from the public so as no one stood in front of me .

There was a lot of Police out riders who waved and sounded their sirens,
my video might be a bit shaky as i waved back , and you can hear the Helicopter over head …

Thanks Eliza. You seem to have had more cars following than we did here. I have no idea why that was; And who was the cyclist right at the end? He had no chance of winning. :lol:
