The Tour of Britain 2016 passed through Kelston on the way to the finish in Bath today.
There was a great deal of interest from lots of cyclists in their Lycra but it took a bit of time for the cyclists to appear.

First the Advance Race Official.

Nice to see some pics of the suport team Rogerand not a bird in sight, (well I suppose the last one is :p)
 
Reminds me of when they came near us year before, much anticipation and excitement, especially when the support / police etc came through, then they arrived and then they were gone !!! Was a bit of an anticlimax really [emoji3]

Doesn't take long does it, I tend to chose an uphill location if possible just to make it all last a bit longer as they slow up ... a little!
Stage 7 in Bristol was good though as they did the time trial then 6 laps of the circuit so you had 7 chances to see them and could move location between laps. :)
