Tour de here

How times have changed. In 2014, the Tour de France came to the UK and everyone gathered to watch it come through. Half an hour of waiting and about 3 seconds for them to shoot by. It would be nice to be part of a carefree crowd again.

When we lived in Horley Surrey the London to Brighton old crocks race (old cars) was just a couple of roads away, so used to go watch that.
