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.
If only there had been a big bike race in the North East this year to balance things out

...but Friday is my normal day off, so I'll be out watching.It will be about 4 miles from us once its gone through Chinnor, and there's a hill for them to get over. I won't be there as I've already got meetings booked.
Yes it's annoying that there isn't any detail. I've tried working out where they will go from Stroud and I do think it could be to the east of the A38, apart from anything it will be lumpier near the Cotswolds. And what time will they arrive in the city, and the resulting road closures to get across to the finish. (The road closures won't bother me, there is always a way through for a bike using other little routes as long as there aren't loads of people standing!)
Will be in Liverpool for the start but I'd like a better map of Stage 2 to ride out to watch.
Whereabouts are you thinking?
It goes Safari Park-Cronton-Widnes (via Kingsway)-Runcorn (expressways mostly except Halton Lea)-Dutton-Acton Bridge-Crowton-Manley-Wrexham-Llay-Mold-KoM B5381-Melin-Conwy-Llanfair-Kom2 (tbc)-Llanwrst-Conwy-Llandudno!
I'm north Liverpool so its likely to be somewhere near the start (Wales is a bit far but I bet it will be better scenery), if anyone's up for it.
