tour of Britain

[Bury the Trash]

its that time again , where does the summer go ...
is your farm en route ...
Borders today Kelso to Kelso.. some tidy farmed fields and trimmed hedges
I'm not necessarily a cycling fan but i love the way the countryside is showcased in these events, hopefully the helicopter will be up for a day or two this week.

It's really nice that it comes through the Borders, even if it wizzes past in about 15 seconds.

A few years ago there was a group of pro looking riders on the route the week before the event on a training ride. I was heading into town in the car behind them, and they were doing just shy of 30mph on the flat, and chatting between themselves like it was nothing...

Coming near here.
Hope not to many crash as roads in a mess with potholes and cracks

I didn't think the cyclists would want the hedges trimming a day or two before the event.

Surprised the cyclists were drinking coke. Usually very specific energy drinks, they get fined for dropping rubbish/empty bottles unless in specific areas.

Sound like Gentlemen and Ladies of cycling.

Unlike the End to Enders we get each year sponsored by a Dubious International Accountancy company.

They let loose several hundred Arrogant Egotistical Entitled Idiots on bikes who take over the roads for a day.
Their support team are even worse than the riders, if that's possible.
It's only one day a year,
