Womens Tour pro cycling

Post by Ian »

Anyone else going to see this at all? Stage 4 of the tour is passing through Hertford and up towards Buntingford on Saturday so very close to Ware and a chance to see some top cyclists, shame the weather forecast is so rubbish :( . Take note, if you're planning to go on the roads on Saturday it's worth checking as there will be rolling road closures for 15 mins or so during the tour at Cheshunt, Hoddesdon, Hertford and Buntingford.

Off to the Sow and Pigs to cheer on the Women's Tour cyclists.
Be a shame not to have a pint. ;)

Having watched the TV coverage tonight (couldn't make it to watch it come through) I think that is Emma Trott (Gold Medal winning Laura's sister)

I see that these women's bicycles don't have baskets on the front. I wonder how they get the shopping home?

Naughty naughty Martin!

Here is a photo from Hertford Heath with Emma Pooley leading the peloton through the village near the Townshend Arms. Missed the leader Ciara Horne who was about ten seconds up the road. They all whizzed by in about ten seconds at approx 40 mph! They all looked really professional though.
