Around Montmorillon

Thursday 28 August.

Just under 200 cyclists will be leaving Montmorillon on Thursday morning and heading off to L'isle Jourdain on the 111 Km stage 3 of the Tour du Poitou-Charentes.

I'm not sure exactly where it's starting but I think the Montmorillon South Industrial Zone wherever that is.

They should be passing through Lathus, Saint Remy, and Adrier. From there I'm not sure.

The pictures aren't great as I'm no photographer and they was going at a fair old lick.

There was lot's of other action going on before they arrived with loads of cars and vans coming by throwing goodies at us, we got Cookies, Hats, Pens Key Rings, all sorts of little trinkets.

They came by so fast though that is was over in a flash, hence I didn't get much chance of photos. But here you go, oh and Mark Cavendish won.

Thanks for that Fred. Nice warning for the Thursday morning.

Watched it going through Lathus and very enjoyable it was too with quite a turn-out from the locals - and us.

Madame Admiral filmed a video of the whole thing, If we knew how to put it on here we would. But we don't. So we won't.

We also have a collection of broken biscuits, sweets, under-sized basball caps etc.
