The Tour de France for me has been the best sporting event in my lifetime with stage one coming through my Town and it was a really great day so thanks to every one involved - the week leading up to the race saw quite surreal scenes of teams training on my local roads I managed to see 5 teams Prior to the race, which for me was totally mental driving my car home from work and Alberto Contador comes past with the whole Saxo Team and cars etc
2 hours later at the other end of Town Team Europecar coming down the road - I just could not get my head round all these Superstar riders in my Town while everyday life going on around them
anyway enough twaddle a few pictures (I took Loads) hope you like them as much as I enjoyed getting them

Great pics (the 8 page thread not good enough for you though? :p )

Completely agree with what you say about it being surreal - seeing Contador, Froome and Nibali race up Jenkin Road on the TV was bizarre. For any cycling fans living on that street, it's like someone telling you the World Cup final was being played in your back garden.
