Tour de France comes to London
















We went to see the Prologue today. They shut down Hyde Park, Green Park and St. James Park as well as much of the surrounding streets for the race. It was quite amazing that they shut down so much of central London. Gorgeous day too, after days of rain, hail, flooding, sleet, and other apocalyptic weather.

It was kind of hard to take good pictures (our camera is a bit slow) so this is one of the few that came out okay.

We did have a great view from the London Cycling Campaign area. LCC had a special reserved area about five km into the course. Since we had ridden our bikes up to to watch, they let us into the LCC area. See below. My LeMond has been fixed by our favorite bicycle shop, Brixton Cycles, which appears to be full of bike punks. Kind of reminds us of Berkeley.
