Whoosh...

...and they were past...
Though Roy succumbed to man flu at the thought of rooting the bikes out of the back of the garage for the first time this year, we DID manage to see the Tour pass at the "cote de Silkstone Hill" ( not actually a "cote" but quite a pull up to the roundabout on the A629 ).
Penistone was bedecked - see extras - lots going on in the town, and lots of people out supporting, armed with flags, hooters and cowbells ;)
A couple more shots showing the grimaces of the riders in extras - just a pity the women didn't get to do this loop of the stage this morning ;(
