After the excitement of the Tour de France prologue a huge peloton of riders
set off from central London on their own "mountain stage" over the
lumps and bumps of North London. The finish line was at the Pub on the Park
in Hackney where a delicios BBQ, a few pints and some leg-loosening roller-racing
awaited.
A great time was had by all and ."Jos da Boss" won V.I.P. tickets
to the hospitality mid-stage area of the Tour de France for the very next day
coutesy of Roadcycling.co.uk, Skoda and Londoncyclesport.

rolling up the trouser legs on his Saville Row suit he set a pretty respectable
