Stage2 Tour of Britain 2012 |
The tour of Britain passed through culcheth on Monday 10th of Sept. There was a sprint from Holcroft lane to the High School. I cycled in and beat them through the sprint flags, although as I'd only come from Tyldesley it probably didn't count. I missed the sprint, taking up a more pragmatic position outside the Cherry Tree on the grounds that they weren't serving beer on Warrington road. They cut to the adverts after the sprint so we didn't get on the tele. Below are some vidcaps and a short film (cut down to .wmv to make it a small file so the quality isn't too great). Overseas viewers will note with some satisfaction that as usual it was pissing down. Vidcaps and film with aid of Power Director 10.
