We were lucky enough to be given tickets to see the start of the Cheshunt stage of the Ladies Tour. The event was staged in an open space in front of the council offices and started with interviews of the teams on a stage. Then children came past us on their bikes. When they had gone the whole space filled with the contestants waiting for the off. I thought they would look nervous, and a few did, but mostly they were relaxed and friendly. Laura Trott, who had just come from naming a leisure centre in Cheshunt after herself, cycled through the crowd to lead the start of the race. Then the countdown started and they were gone. We could not get to actually see them ride in race mode as the roads had all been sealed off, so we had to content ourselves with some fairly static shots.
