The Tour De Yorkshire

It's pretty much a once in a lifetime event when international cycle race, the Tour De France (clue's in the name), whizzes through your little town in West Yorkshire so when it does it's appropriate to mark the occasion properly.

Our friends who were coming to celebrate with us are rather sporty (Iron Man, anyone?) so as road closures were in place they decided to cycle the tough 21 miles over to us the day before.

Le Tour Eve

The bunting is up at la maison du Forcella and we're eagerly awaiting our guests who are cycling (of course!) across from Lancashire to watch the Tour de France come through Hebden Bridge tomorrow afternoon.

I thought that I'd have a wander into the town centre to see what was going on on the eve of this exciting occasion, and this is what I found!


Naturally there were some cyclists - these professional 
looking gents kindly posed for a photo!

Le Bridge

Hebden Bridge is well known for its creative culture and artistic community, and this creative energy was certainly evident when I wandered in this morning to take some photos for the post I plan to do next week featuring the Tour De France (don't worry - the sports content in the post will be minimal).
