London Will Be Ready

With the '07 Tour de France starting on July 7 in London, there are concerns.
Tour director Christian Prudhomme says the city will be ready.
I hope so. I'm thinking of visiting my son and his girlfriend, who are relocating to London (she's already there) from Wiesbaden (due to her job).
In fact, Mike Armellino and I are talking about doing another Trek Travel trip to the Tour -- maybe the second week in the Alps?
What do you think Granny, 53rd?
Back to London ...
"London is a big city, they will do everything in their power to make things go smoothly," Prudhomme said.
The Tour will start exactly two years after attacks on London's transport network killed more than 50 people.
"Every precaution will be taken, like for any big event," Prudhomme said.
I trust they will handle security better than they handle doping.
The 8km prologue will leave Trafalguar Square and end in front of Buckingham palace.
The first stage will then leave the British capital to Canterbury through Kent over 203 km.
"We will have everything -- London's prestige, its momuments and then the famous Canterbury Cathedral through the beautiful English countryside," said Prudhomme.
