Yes
Well, that didn't go as well as planned! I videoed the caravane but forgot that I'd disabled the microphone from a previous session. I then realised as the peloton came through that I hadn't really thought about what I was trying to achieve and underestimated how quickly they pass! Nevertheless, it was a nice sunny day and these were taken between Rayne and Felsted:

1. The Glum French Motorcycle Display Team



2. Trying to push the crowd back

I like the relaxed look on the riders. I watched it from The Liberty Bounds at Tower Hill avoiding the rain, watching a T.V and seeing the live event simultaneously. Nice sharp images...particularly 3
 
Yes, it was a toss up between quiet-ish country lane or get the atmosphere of the crowds and the big screen at the next village but probably struggling for any real view, so chose the former.

Thanks for the comments - I too was surprised (looking at the TV coverage) how much chatting seems to go on!
 
A great day, you're right about just how quickly they pass.

#3 for me, shame the lead rider in #4 wasn't a bit sharper, that would have been a great team shot.
