Having watched my parents obsess over the Tour de France each year for as long as I can remember, the prospect of the legendary race passing through Yorkshire was a very exciting one.
After a 45 minute drive and an hours walk (uphill. cry.) we made it to the route, and managed to bag a good viewing spot.
It wasn't long until the advertising floats started whizzing past, flinging freebies left right and centre and blasting out music to make the crowds even more excited. I love anything like this!
And how freaking cool do the Gendarmerie look on their motorbikes?
About 6 helicopters all flying in formation preceded the cyclists. It felt like a scene from Apocalypse Now! Very cool and exciting.
When the cyclists eventually arrived, it was all over in about 3 seconds, but it was so totally worth it. The atmosphere amongst Yorkshire folk was insane, and something I'll remember for a very long time!
