Tour de Yorkshire

This afternoon I walked down to the park to see the finale of the Tour de Yorkshire. I thought I'd walk up towards the finish and see how busy it was. I ended up about 300m from the end - and it was five deep by the time the riders came in.

This was the winner, at about 400m from the finish - but clearly uncatchable by that point. It's Ben Hermanns from the BMC Racing Team. It was good to see. What was fascinating was listening to those around me, who had clearly travelled some distance. One bloke was on his mobile trying to give his girlfriend directions, and I was so tempted to butt in and suggest a different route...

All good fun - its great to have big sporting events drop in on your doorstep...
