Marshalling the Tour de France

Yellow Bike

I volunteered to marshall Le Tour and attended a briefing session the other night in Regent’s College. It was all very slick, with videos, role-playing and a little pocket guide outlining the course and listing do’s/dont’s. Apparently all those who attend the training sessions will be assured a place at their nominated stage – mine being the Prologue around central London.

It’s going to be a long day and we are there primarily to answer questions from the public and act as the ‘eyes and ears’ for the trained event staff and security teams. Regardless, after the training session I was feeling just a tad proud to be helping at such a prestigious event. Aww.. 🙂
