Tour of Britain - Sussex
When the Tour of Britain came to Town
In 2014 the Tour of Britain came through Sussex and the route was such that we were able to catch it in 3 different locations.
First we drove up to Horsham and were able to watch the cyclists as they rode through the town.

Here's a .gif of a few of the photographs I took there.

Then we drove back to Brighton and caught the competitors at both the upper road and lower promenade.
These are the flat screens where you could watch the whole day's cycyling.

Here is the main peloton approaching the finishing line.
The winners had long ago passed through! 😁

Here is the finishing line with the sky tour bus ready and waiting where later we were able to watch Sir Bradley Wiggins being interviewed.😁.
A fun day was had by all!
Thank you to @juliank and @photocontests for this daily photography contest.
That looks fun! I hope there weren't any terrible crashes, though. Is it a fairly short race?
It's a couple of weeks if I remember rightly @fotosdenada.
And, sadly, I'm sure there were crashes. It seems to be the nature of the sport. 😢
Bike races are so much fun. I love the color and they are just so fast. Being an American I must admit I had to look up Bradley Wiggins. Sorry.
No need to apologise @steven-patrick. He deserves all the fans he can get as far as I'm concerned.
They do go really fast. Apart from the atmosphere I prefer watching on television to be honest. You see much more that way.
This race wasn't so bad because we got 3 goes at it and by the time they got to Brighton they were going a bit slower! 😁
