The Tour of Britain came past our road end today, so after a quick dinner we rushed to the end of the lane (in case they were early). Maybe there was a hold up along the way (traffic jam in Kirkby Lonsdale? behind a tractor at Old Town?) but they were running late, and we were just beginning to feel a bit daft, stood by the side of the road with our camera, when the bikes started to appear.
These were the police and
support bikes - who seemed to be having fun riding on empty closed roads. And then, at last, the lead rider came round the corner, almost hidden by the cameraman on a motor bike and backup cars.
The pack (or peloton, to show I know the right words) were not far behind,
and then a cavalcade of cars piled high with spare bikes.
In a few minutes they were gone, exce
pt for a few stragglers that we waved on as we turned round to go home.
