They'll whizz past my house - tempting though it is to just watch from the garden, it might be better to go to somewhere like Nailsworth to watch them going uphill.
Might depend on the weather.
Where are you planning on watching from? (Bring your deckchair here if you like!)

Might also be worth a ride out to Monmouth somewhere the day before...

Or wait just on the bend on the descent into Wotton-under-edge, just beware of flying cyclists

So far I've not planned anything, though I'm wondering about cycling parts of it to see where the best bit will be.

Edit to correct Ipad autocorrect!

I wouldn't dare stand on the outside of that bend!

Definitely going up Fish Hill then (Broadway). So tempting to take the day off and see it from there.

Definitely NOT going up Fish Hill. Oh!

Choice between Broadway up to Snowshill, and Malvern.

Happy Days. the Camberley to Brighton stage on 13th Sept. starts 50 meters from my house

woo hoo

Is this the tour of roman Britain? I see Caledonia has been left out totally.

I can't wait. Still not sure where to watch the Worcester to Bristol leg, probably somewhere around Bridge Valley Road. The on the Friday it's leaving Bath so that will be less than a few miles from the front door.

Bit of a shame they haven't included some Cumbrian or Scottish mountains to liven things up,

Tour of Britain? There's nothing north of London for those of us who live on the east side of the country and nothing north of Liverpool at all.

Four times inside 2 pages - impressive consistency; unimpressive reading. Where's @Marmion when you need him, to claim that it's an English conspiracy to support the Better Together campaign?

Nah, as always, I only call a conspiracy when there is one.
If it was a Better Together campaign they'd have held all the stages in Scotland and told us how good we do from being part of the Union.

My O level geography must be out if Cumbria is in Scotland. I just want to see proper hills not short pimples.

I'm glad it wasn't just me who noticed.

So do you think it's okay for the Tour of "Britain" to miss out a huge part of the country again?
