Tour de Yorkshire sees record crowds cheer on the teams.

The first day of the Tour de Yorkshire 2017 dawned, dry and cold, and along with many other keen cyclists I made my way up to Garrowby hill where I watched in amazement as crowds gathered to cheer on the teams.The sound of the helicopter hovering overhead as the first riders came crawling up the hill, followed by a gap, then the main peleton. It was an amazing spectacle and the crowds were enthusiatic in their cheering, with the odd cow bell being rung and cheering and clapping as the cyclists made their way up the hill.
The second day we cycled to Wetherby in time to watch the ladies race come through, then headed on to Sheffield where we enjoyed the finish on the 3rd day  at Fox Valley in Sheffield.Tremendous atmosphere from huge crowds.
A few images from the weekend..... and if its inspired you then take a look at our York2Paris ride taking place in June and September this year. Happy Cycling....
