RE: Our Tour de France Adventure. Part 2. Meeting the Riders.
Nice post with a nice story. It reminds me of years ago when the Tour de France started in the Netherlands ... and we were able to make it to the Prologue in 's-Hertogenbosch. The rain was pouring down on us for literally the whole day, but we don't mind. We had so much fun walking around in the 'circus' called Tour de France.
Hey @hetty-rowan
It is kind of crazy isn't it! It's great that you got the opportunity to see the TDF near you though. Just a shame it was raining.
Cheers, Gaz
Hey Gaz,
Yeah it almost was a shame ... but really, we don't mind at all. The crazyness of the whole thing, and seeing all the cyclists racing their right before our own eyes. Walking through the promo village, talking to them when they are doing their warming up. That all was so good, that we didn't mind the rain at all.
Very cool. It is great to be in amongst them. Most of them are very receptive.
I'm always stunned by the speed that they ride up mountains. They wiz past at such a rate.
