Olympics - Cycling

One of the big free events was the cycling which passed very close to our house so it was always high on our list of events to attend.  All the roads around our house were blocked off so we had a good excuse to stay local and make a day of it.  The race went out of London in the morning and came back into London in the afternoon.  The cyclists were all in a huge pack on the way out and a bit more spread out on the way back.  It was great fun but quite an odd sport to watch - lots of waiting and then whoosh all gone - those guys move fast!

Outbound - Upper Richmond Road

So close to home

Waiting patiently

Here they come

The leaders

The South African

There they go

Backup crews

Double brothers

Inbound - Richmond Park

Good excuse to to go for a cycle

Big Dreams

More big dreams

Sticks are always entertaining

Waiting patiently again

This is more comfy

There they are!

Different Leaders this time

Bringing up the rear

Bumping into friends

And that was it!
