2014-07-07 The Tour de France prepares to leave Cambridge (Stage 3)

This morning I drove into Cambridge and parked at the Park and Ride on Newmarket Road. The bus didn’t go to its usual stop as much of the City was closed off for the start of the race and we were dropped on Maids Causeway, a small walk from Parkers Piece where “The Tour” was set up to sign in all the riders. All the riders have to sign in every day before riding and we saw them all come onto the stage to do their duty.

The centre of Cambridge can’t ever of seen so many people. The organisation apparently had said they had never seen such large crowds as they have seen over the last three days. I could hardly see a thing as it was just so crowded but the atmosphere was just incredible. After the riders had signed in I made my way to outside John Lewis where I saw even less!!!
