Title: tour de France
Post by catalanboy on Jul 5^th, 2014 at 3:26pm

So the tour de France starts off in Yorkshire today to the backdrop of Harewood house with 10s of thousands in attendance , showing Yorkshire off in all its verdant glory as with the Olympics we surly know how to stage an event . A few facts about le tour....3.5 billion world tv audience ,it attracts 12 million spectators along the route in a typical years race and 30% are women , and its the worlds largest annual sporting event. As an avid cyclist I look forward to it arriving at Cambridge on Monday .

Maybe, just maybe you will get nice weather.
It is brilliant here.
Pool time, B.B.Q. Sitting outside, with a glass of red wine, listening to the birds, could not be better!
