Le Tour de France caravan passes by the Memorial (Unitarian) Church, Cambridge
Here are a few photos from the Tour de France as it set off from Cambridge today. Five members of the congregation hung out together for the morning to enjoy the festivities.
A splendid time was had by all.
The first few photos show the caravan passing by the front of the church on its way to the start and the penultimate one shows the riders passing down St. Andrews Street where we headed for the actual start of the race. The final photo shows us relaxing after our intense exertions!

| The caravan begins to pass the front of the Memorial (Unitarian) Church |
 |
| And keeps going for a long, long time . . . |
 |
| It's not every day that this kind of thing passes by the front door! |

| Faux cyclists |
 |
| A gendarme passes by |
 |
| Our first sight of real racing bicycles |
 |
| Encore une fois . . . |
 |
| And again . . . |
 |
| And still more . . . |
