Olympic Invite

I have received this email from Molesey Boat Club:

"Hi guys,

I’m not sure if you and your club members have decided yet where to watch the Olympic Road & Time Trial Cycling on July 28th, 29th and August 1st, but you are more than welcome to do it from Molesey Boat Club in a few weeks’ time!

This rowing club is not only situated a few hundred yards from Hampton Court, so great for the Time Trials on Wednesday, August 1st, but is also off Hurst Road, the route of the Road Race itself. It will also be showing the rowing on the TVs of course, in which MBC has 8 participants!

Feel free to store your bikes in the club’s boat yard, or even potentially the ground floor gym, then watch the excitement unfold live as the bikes hurtle by, and then the races on the TVs in the club bar, where food will also be served. Everyone is welcome, non-MBC members, friends, families and colleagues.

The Club can be reached easily by cycle, foot, rail (Hampton Court station) and even ferry (from Richmond, Kingston): http://www.moleseyboatclub.co.uk/contact-us/find-us

Have a look at the attachment here and feel free to contact Niki and Dav, who are copied on this, should you have any questions.

Hope to see you there!

Regards,
Neil"

Tour de France, Dieppe


Caravan


Bradley Wiggins


Mark Cavendish


After our West Coast tour we went to stay with Graham and Gill Holder in their house not far from Rouen.  On Wednesday we all rode up the Voie Verte to Dieppe to watch the Tour come though.  We've done it a few times in various places; it's always a great spectacle, and it's very enjoyable to be part of a great French celebration, but you really get very little idea of what's going on - you need a television for that.

Anyway, we all had a grand ride on a very sunny day to Dieppe en fĂȘte - everything set out in the sunshine for the great day, the streets lined with expectant people.  Nothing for a while, then the craziness of the Caravan, where sponsors throw out promotional gifts from elaborately dressed up vehicles.  There were hundreds of them, and the enthusiasm for the souvenirs is huge.  I got a yellow hat, at some risk to life and limb, Maggie got some washing powder and Gill, more usefully, got a packet of biscuits.

Then there's a long pause before the Tour itself comes.  Police bikes sweep along the road, the Commissaires cars bustle self-importantly along, then there's the thwup thwup thwup of the TV helicopters  - five of them - then the breakaway, and then swoosh, the peloton whisks by and it's over.

Pleasant people in the Le Flash bar made us sandwiches, as it was now after lunch, then back off home down the Voie Vert, joshing with other cyclists and enjoying a sunny afternoon.
