The Tour de France came to London today, and along with thousands of other people, I popped down from my office to Embankment to have a look (helmets helpfully identified - I don't think otherwise you'd be able to see them in amongst all the people!). Where we were standing you could also feel the District line trains rumbling under your feet - a very strange sensation.
As you can see from my photo it wasn't that great a spot (although being under the trees did save us from the dreary London drizzle), and they all came whizzing through so fast, but it was fun to see and leaves you with a renewed appreciation for their athleticism (hoping that it's natural, not artificially enhanced).
It also brought back memories of the last time we saw the tour in Lourdes - can't believe that was six years ago! Time is seriously flying...
