Abingdon’s Tour de France

Market Place Events
As well as the Fire Station Book Sale there were plenty more books on the Market Place on the St Nics Church stall, alongside plants, cakes, and a White Elephant’s Stall. On a day like this they had no need of Gazebos.

There was also a cake stall run by the Vineyard Church Youth Club, and the Abingdon Concert Band were entertaining all comers.

Bradley Wiggins has just won the Tour de France. I could find no real Abingdon connection with this momentous event apart from an article about Abingdon’s Tour de France in May 2010. (Abingdon is the house name of the pre-school at St Edmund’s School in Canterbury, and as part of their French week they did a Tour de France round the classroom on trikes. “Going through the mountains was very tricky” said Ethan “As you had to slow down!”)

    true no strong links, but lots of very happy cyclists in Abingdon Freewheeling this sunday, We did a fast ride to Streatley and the roads were full of euphoric cyclists. Yesterday was our 1966, the day everything changed forever.

    OK, I give in. I’ll ask if nobody else will.
    Apart from the first screening of Star Trek, what did happen in 1966 to change things forever ?
