We got to Waddington Fell just before the pros and headed up, by this point I think I had broken Jumbly who has had a hard week already. Somehow I lost her, turns out she couldn't get her feet out of the pedals and had to stop just below where I stopped, only in the crowds of cyclists it was hard to spot each other. 
The pros soon came past, the leading three dancing on the pedals, the chasing group looking strong and then the last few making the hill look hard. Although they were probably going twice my speed it was nice to see it didn't look any easier for them than me.
They were closely followed by Jumbly. We then dropped down into Waddington for lots of food and Vikki rang her broom wagon for a lift back.A fab ride and the weather was amazing!
I was up on Waddington Fell too. Was following the whole stage today. Saw the off in Blackpool, then up at Lancaster, Waddington and back for th finish in Blackpool. Brill!
ReplyDeleteHow did you beat the pros back?
ReplyDeleteTrio - my legs hurt, last years ride to watch the pros at Southport was much kinder to me. I think I can only ride to watch them do hilly bits every other year, please note this in your diary as next year I will be expecting flat riding and chips. Although, good call on the cafe today, nom, nom, nom!
