The annual ‘Tour de Penge’ cycle ride took place today and I
went along to sketch while the cyclists were preparing for ‘Le Grand Depart’. Men, women, children and, even a dog in the
back of a trailer, set off to ride to Greenwich. The event, started several years ago by a
local resident, is part of the Penge Festival and you can see a full list of
events here http://pengeandcatorcouncillors.wordpress.com/2013/05/15/penge-festival-2013-schedule-of-events/

This is great, I can feel the pre-race atmosphere; people standing around chatting nervously, someones bike getting a quick repair etc.
