Accommodation just confirmed. I shall be taking my first childhood bedroom (now redecorated), overlooking the TTT route itself and situated halfway up the killer late climb to the Passo Stranmillis, as opposed to the back of the house teenage bedroom (also redecorated) with it's views onto the route alongside the Fiume Lagan…

Bah! Didn't get a team presentation ticket. All 5500 have gone

The "craic" is going to be good though … I think as an event it is likely set up better than the Tour in Yorkshire because:
1) Belfast is a very friendly city and the TTT will be seen by tens of thousands without much bother
2) the scenery is more spectacular, particularly if doesn't rain

But they're there for three days, it will rain.

I'm dead jealous - have a good ride and may the wind blow from the north ;-)

I'm touring in Donegal Sunday to Wednesday before the event whilst my wife is at a conference in Enniskillen. Will then be in Belfast and have self catering place on the Anrtrim coast for the weekend (and the race passes the front door)

Is it detached? If so i'd be tempted to stand in the road, divert them into the garden and make them do laps of the house.
