Le Tour De Yorkshire

Crowds of thousands

We ran to the roadside to be greeted by hundreds of thousands of people just the same as us waiting eagerly for the race to start.

Waiting for the train

The queue for the train was half a mile long and 5 people wide, but we slipped through the guards.

A slightly distorted View

Harrogate town centre was flocked by people waiting for the end of the first stage.

Tourist Merchandise

Tourists were eager to get their hands on the hats, umbrellas and t-shirts that were being sold at the roadside.

Cow in the crowd

I caught this little cow from one of the many different caravan wagons before the race.

Rooftop View

These crazy guys had the perfect view of the race up 40ft in the air on the roof of their homes.

Harrogate skyline

Waiting for the race

Eagerly waiting to get a picture of the super fast cyclists, who were moments away from the finish.



lookout post

The police were on full lookout on the roofs and on the ground.

20 seconds of lycra

The race was so fast we hardly saw it but the sheer volume of cyclists was incredible.



Cinnamon sugar donuts

After a long day of standing, waiting, walking, running and squeezing through masses of people fresh donuts were an amazing pickup and delicious finish to a fantastic day. 



Sunset film watching

the evening came to a close and we watched Grease on the big screen in Valley gardens a perfect end to an almost perfect day.
