Apparently the 2007 Tour De France is going by my house
 

They are taking it to London in 2007 and I saw the route for the second day in London earlier today. It goes right in front of my house. Pretty cool...I might have a party on my balcony to watch.

tour de france in britain?

yeah..aparently every couple years it starts off somewhere other than France. I vaugely remember it starting in Ireland a while back.

sorry to hear that . . . I lived in Hollywood for years and every year the x-mass parade would disrupt everything, you couldn't park by yer house so spectators could park, towing cars, being stuck at ome due to crowds etc . . a real bummer all the way around . .

we already have the London marathon go through a couple streets up every year and it makes it impossible to leave the house for a day. When I used to work out of the house I had to book that day off every year because I would never have made it into work.

I was at the TDF 2004 for 12 days. It was great.

Enjoy

i am going to see the gumball rally pass through kent this year

I don't get it. :(

i didn't know you could bicycle through the eurotunnel

should be fun, I love the Tour de France

They go over on the ferry. Last year right before the start I saw a number of the US Postal team on the Ferry over to france. Tall feckers.

very cool... :D

that's awesome, I'm jealous :)

just looked it up and you are right sarah :thumbsup


btw @manowar: they are coming through kent too

sure are...i'm on the edge of where London becomes kent. They are doing Woolwich to Erith which is the leg they will pass me on and then from Eirth to Dartford.

That is very cool!

Cool, exclusive pics:thumbsup zoom in:winkwink:

Big highlight around my place is the Mardi Gras parade that passes by. It runs along the street that intersects mine. I can watch it from the yard but I usually walk down to the corner and join the crowd or meet up with family/friends at other points on the parade route.

I don't know why but as much as I would love to see it mardigras scares me..the event not the person..lol

yes a good time was had by all, that is except the residents :)

Ulrich is going to win this one!

that's very nice to see. did you take some pics?

just let me jump in my time machine

be sure to post all pics here. we don't want to miss a single detail of that once-in-a-lifetime event

I certainly will take pics

tour de france is gay

thats cool

:1orglaugh Actually, the parade that passes near the house is very tame and family oriented. :upsidedow

for some reason I associate it with having my pocket picked...would be neat to see though
