I made a solid effort to wave back or give a thumbs up to every single person on the route today from Knutsford to Barrow-In-Furness . The weather was hit and miss and yet spectators gave their time to turn up. I’m guessing maybe hundreds of thousands along the entire route. I must admit the welcome cheers by the locals as we entered the populated areas made every second of the journey worth while. I’ve never witnessed anything like it. This is what it feels like to be part of the biking community 😬👍🏻
