As the only Welshman, and a Cardiffian at that, to win the Tour de France the City turned out to welcome him home.
Club members cycled down to Cardiff Castle to see him arrive there, but his celebrations started in Bay area at the Welsh Assembly buildings and he then rode to the castle leading a peleton of young riders from various cycling clubs in Wales.
At the castle he had a civic welcome from the Lord Mayor and various other local celebrities.
I saw this on the main BBC news, what a welcome he got - well deserved too!
ReplyDeleteYes it got good coverage Mick.
ReplyDeleteWOW....I had no clue as I rarely follow sports. Cool to have a hometown guy Win!
ReplyDeleteHe's a very very modest and quiet guy Sondra and the enormity of winning the Worlds biggest bike race still has sunk in.
DeleteA well deserved welcome!
ReplyDeleteIts good that they put on something special Mr A.
DeleteWell deserved..... I really enjoyed watching the TDF this year and Geraint's ride was perfection...
ReplyDeleteHe's deserved it for all the years and work he's put in as a domestique.
