They made sure they had their flags with them, and their cameras, as well as some snacks to nibble on, and they all trooped down the lane until they reached the main road where the cyclists were going to pass by. Lots of other people had the same idea too, so the bears had to find a good spot to take their photos and to wave their flags so that they wouldn't get in anyone else's way.
The road had to be closed to all traffic so the cyclists would be safe, and several police motorcyclists went by to stop all the cars ahead. As the bears waited, cars kept driving past and they wondered how the cyclists would be able to get through them all, but as time went by, the number of cars dwindled until there were none driving past at all. Everybody was getting very excited! A car belonging to the Cycle Race eventually came past, and they used a loudspeaker to tell everyone that 6 of the leading cyclists were coming, and they were six and half minutes in front of everyone else.
