We decided to go to Cobham to watch the Olympic Cycling Time trial,
today. It would be a nightmare trying to find somewhere to park, so we
took the train and walked into the village from the station, then found a
spot along Portsmouth Road to watch the cyclists hurtling by. We were
very lucky to be by a tree where there were few people, and eventually I
got a space by the railings where I could try and track the competitors
as they flashed passed. The atmosphere was terrific with plenty of
cheering, but the biggest cheers were for Chris Froome and Bradley
Wiggins who were almost the last to come through and clearly catching
the folk in front of them after the half way mark. Wonderful results of a
Gold and a Bronze medal for these two (Wiggo getting gold). And we were
there - love it!
At first I had to try over the heads of the other spectators, but some of them moved on and i could get down and try panning through the barrier. They whiz by so fast it wasn't easy!
