On Tuesday, Iain, Euan, Scrippo Shaun and myself went to Boulogne to watch the 3rd stage of the Tour de France. We drove to the outskirts of Calais, and had a nice 25k ride each way to watch the race. For those who missed the Twitter updates, here’s how it went:
Not a good start to our TDF roadtrip. Sub 10minute wheelchange from Shaun. Including emptying the bikes from the boot.
Made it in time for the boat though.
Riding to Rue d'Herquelingue.
1 puncture, lots of map checking and one fairly major wrong turn slowed us down. It took us half the time to ride back.
Found a good spot to watch the race. Pitched our flag between some Belgiums and Dutch, and opposite some Norwegians.
All of our goodies from the caravans. "If I can't eat it I don't want it"
Team photo before driving back to Calais.
Waiting (ages) for the ferry.
We even made it onto TV. You can watch it for a few more days on ITV player. We’re just over 29 minutes in .
