That was great fun! Can't believe the speed Cav tanked up the cobbles.
Watched them come round first time and then went to The Boatman for a birthday lunch and then back again for the finish. So many people - atomsphere was fantastic.

It was absolutely packed. Amazing. I hadn't got a good view but by the roar of the crowd, I knew who was leading the final sprint and then I saw the rainbow jersey come past. Fantastic stuff. The boy loved it too - rounded off his weekend after winning the final club TT on handicap.0

We were on staple lane the first cat 3 climb. My family and I had a fantastic time. Really rammed and I too was amazed at the speed the riders passed us. Absolutely fabulous day... Also made in on the tele too (you had to use pause, but I was there)
Thanks to all the organisers handing out skoda flags, malt loaf and chalk, and the guys from rouleur handing out cow bells! My boys loved them. Also massive thanks to the lad from SWRC who lent me his bike to try the climb - it was harder than I expected! Great day! 0 -
Yep - was great fun. The cow bell wasn't quite as amusing in the car on the way home or at 7.00 this morning though...FCN 3 / 40

Just seen that Wouter Sybrandy is in intensive care following this crash yesterday. Not good news.Mud - Genesis Vapour CCX

Oh no! I didn't realise there'd been a crash as haven't watched the coverage yet. That makes my comments re: the cow bell seem very out of place. Best wishes to Wouter.... Get well soon!0

I haven't watched the "highlights" yet. Where did he fall? When I saw that the route appeared to be going down Whitedown, I did wonder if there could be trouble there - very, very nasty corner (not that it's that pleasant coming up).Asprilla wrote:Just seen that Wouter Sybrandy is in intensive care following this crash yesterday.

yeah a good afternoon, i was on Staples Lane too and then down into Guildford for the finish. Managed to get near the podium which was good going as both me and my youngest had our bikes with us too.
Hadn't heard about the rider mentioned above either. Hope he recovers soon.
FCN = 40 -
My daughter and I rode up to Chiddingfold to watch it stream past, sitting on the village green was nice. Saw another rider from Chichester on the way up and then again on the way back otherwise roads were quiet.0

She's nice isn't she ?
she was in Guildford too - wearing the same dress.
she's okay, I guess. I don't normally go for jaw-droppingly beautiful women though.0 -

We had a great view of the whole finishing straight - perched on the top of the multi-storey car park for a great birds-eye view
