Le tour de Yorkshire is coming,

So Le Tour de France, is coming to Yorkshire! On July 5th all the cyclists will be coming to Yorkshire to cycle our leg of the tour! 

I am not  a cyclist, I never have been, but recently I have been training for an Olympic distance triathlon and the thought of cycling 40k in a couple of weeks is making me want to cry, how these guys complete 3200k over the three week period is completely beyond me! I have such an amazing amount of respect for them, such incredible athletes! 

I have lived in Yorkshire my whole entire life, and when I found out that le tour was coming to Yorkshire I instantly couldn't wait! I live in a little town called Otley. Otley holds a cycle race each year in June, and each year it seems to be getting a much bigger event. I think after le tour has been to Otley it will only get bigger which is great. The tour route literally goes straight through my town, and I can only imagine how many people will be out lining the streets cheering the cyclists along. I run parts of the route most days, and all the surrounding fields are turning into campsites, and bits of land advertising parking.... it really does seem to be getting close! So if you haven't got plans for the 5th of July, come to Otley, get yourself on a campsite and come watch some amazing sports!
