Fool on the Hill - Tour of Britain - Stage 7 - 21st September 2013

The plan for the day was to take part in a Club Hill Climb Challenge followed by a race against the clock to get a view of the Tour's Stage 7 as it came through Farnham in Surrey.

So much for competitive hill climbing! I managed to go to the wrong hill and completely missed the challenge, saving myself some likely embarrassment I'm sure!

So.....just needed to zoom over to Lower Bourne to grab that position on the hill that would allow a decent glimpse of Wiggo et al. Made it with 20 minutes to spare and was able to cycle up said hill with an amazing number of people lining the road and cheering me on as I went. Maybe it was the yellow club jersey that got me the cheers and applause. I waved but yelled back ''Not Yet!.....''

Why I thought my phone would somehow capture the whizzing Peloton in crystal clear frames, I don't know!

Ghost riders.........
