With the Rally Nord Deux Sevres being held the previous weekend, then I will probably get over to see that as well. It's going to be a busy couple of weeks, what with these two events and a couple of stages of the Tour de France as well!!    Report

Does anyone know, or post a link to show, what roads the demenstrations are being run on?  Are they just on the roads around Place St Jacques, or do they go further afield?    Report

Pete Spence and I will be there on Sunday afternoon (racing starts at 2.30pm).  Pete's in a wheelchair, so I had a chat with the marshals this afternoon about access for him.  No problem, they said - there's a disabled parking space right opposite the Place that they're going to keep free for him.  Nice helpful people..... Keep an eye open for us and say hello - I'll be the tall one looking over the ballustrade and Pete'll be the short one looking through the supports........       Waddya mean it's only Saturday......    Report

I did look out for people, but it was so busy (and deservedly so), that I wasn't able to spot anyone. Here are a few pictures that I took.  I may add a few more later on: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=42358&l=e7fbc&id=651857026    Report
