Talking of cycling.
The 'warm-up' or test race to next year's Olympic 2012 cycle road race took place this morning. As part of the route goes past just 2 miles from where we live, it would have been rude not to cycle over and cheer on the riders.
A little bit more nervousness on my part as getting to our viewing point involved cycling on the road with cars, vans and lorries zooming past me. It was all good though and I was pleased we did it.
I have to say that it was very much blink and you'll miss them! Still exciting stuff though and it was good to see so many people out cheering. And it made a change to see the police doing something positive rather than having to deal with looters and vandals.
