I noticed the wind - sudden flurry in the air, and leaves etc. stirred up and they swept past.
That was indeed impressive.

I was a bit sad not to get a T-Mobile casquette (cotton cycling hat). Old grannies go them - I was seriously tempted to bid a pound or two for one. Hate to be churlish, but I guess the majority go in the bin, where I would use one.
I got 3: one for me, two for the kids (think of the children!). I was lucky and was passing Horsegurads Parade just as they started handing them out and avoided the feeding frenzy.

Must take my kids down for a weekend with the grandparents in a few years time.. I'm sure they'd love it (as would I).
Must email my councillor about getting ToB through Dundee next year (or the year after). Several years back it hosted the prologue for the Milk Race (3km hill climb IIRC) but it would also have the potential for a great stage finish - fast flat sprint with a long downhill approach.

Will indeed do the same once we're in Kent. Looks like the TDF will be going that way in 2007 if we get the start. King Ken gave a rousing speech at the TOB presentation where he referred to 2 million cycling fans descending on London if they get the start! Good to see him there supporting the TOB; just I was expecting Eddy Merckx like last year. A bit of a let down.
