Cheering by the roadside

As promised yesterday, we put up our banners and stood by the roadside waiting for the Tour of Britain go past.

I couldn't decide which photo to use for the blip, so I thought I'd show the whole experience.

We had a fantastic time, cheering everyone on (including the police escorts). Ian thinks one of the Sky Team commented on our cheering as they cycled by. Woohoo - I'm sure that means they appreciated our support!

I didn't see Cavendish as I was madly taking photos, but I put the camera down in time to see Wiggins go by! Brilliant!
