The Tour Comes to Town...

I think I've been accused of saying that nothing ever happens in Bridgwater... Well today it turns out I'm wrong; Today the Tour of Britain hurtled past the pub at the end of our road for Stage 3 of the 8 day race.

We stood out to cheer them along, and to try and get a glimpse of our Olympic heroes Wiggins and Thomas - of course they were cycling too fast to spot, and quite frankly they all look the same to the untrained eye! We had a lot of fun though anticipating when they might arrive, and even got a bit of video of the Pelaton flying past!
