You may remember me mentioning previously that the Tour de France was beginning in London this year. Our friends from the States, Mauricio and wife Faviola, were visiting us these past few weeks, and since Mauricio loves cycling, he couldn't have picked a better time to be here.
Saturday was the prologue, where they do the individual time trials. We made our way to Hyde Park to camp out for the day and catch all the action. The bikes were so cool. The tires looked more like gigantic CD's, they were so thin. When they rolled past, it sounded like bees humming.
We were not able to see them on Sunday as they began their journey to Canterbury, but there is always next year, right? Or there is even still this year...the tour lasts for three weeks! It was such an awesome experience to see this event. It's one I never thought I would get to see in person. Granted, it would have been even more awesome had it been a few years ago when Lance was in the running. I hope you enjoy the photos and I created a little video of our raw footage as well. We had a great viewing area right on the barricades.
