Hay Tour for the Tour of Britain

No ride for us this weekend as we are in Devon visiting Kathy's parents but as they live on the edge of Dartmoor and the Tour of Britain is also visiting it seems rude not to go and watch.

We decide to find ourselves a position at Hay Tour and use the excellent park and ride they have set up with the proceeds going to the local mountain rescue team, so worthy cause also supported! We decide not to use the bus and get some exercise by hiking over the moor to Hay Tor. This brings Kathy to invent the wonderful slogan of "We climbed a Tor to see the Tour".

We sit up on the top of the hill and have our lunch before moving down and getting a position right on the barriers at the 100m to the finish point. What a great atmosphere it's almost like one of the Tour de France mountain stages there are 1000's of people here today, it's brilliant!

Having soaked up the atmosphere, listened to the race commentary and been given a Devon flag to wave we wait eagerly for the arrival of the race. What a great finish, perhaps if I practice a bit more I can go uphill that fast, its good to dream.

But we've seen some of our heroes including Sir Brad and Cav so all in all  a great day out, so what next? Well, we have our accommodation booked in Yorkshire for next year!
