TDF 2014, Where will you be watching?

[solidthegreat]

So, the TDF is revisiting the shores of this little land again for 3 days. I was wondering where people on CC will be watching it. Looking at the route map I will be able to get stage 2 and 3 in with a little planning. It doesn't really pass near me so a bit of driving is required but hey, this is the Tour de France.
Anyway, I was thinking of setting up just before Sheffield in stage 2, then drive to Chelmsford for the next day.

Uber excited!!!!!

I will walk out of my door, go 300 yards down the road and take photos of the Tour passing through my adopted town, 25 years after I started cycling here!

I'm not jealous one little bit!!!!!!

All I can say is wow. Oh and feel free to send me some Astana freebies, I won't be offended LOL

Incidentally, I went to watch the Tour stage to Brighton in 1974 and the stage in Kent in 2007, so this will be my 3rd time.

Freebies are the wrong thing to be asking for given Astana's history you could end up with diy transfusion kit

And a certain American ex tour winner as an alibi

 

[DiddlyDodds]

I will be up on Crag Vale near the top above Littleborough

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

No idea yet but I plan on heading down to have a gander.

Ripponden Bank would be a great place to stand.

Holme moss! Also hoping to stay at a mate's place in leeds to see stage 1.

That's an Impressive climb, reckon it will be packed there.

More than likely, filled with people who will recall just how tough the pros found their climbs. Idiots.

I believe it passes through Skipton or thereabouts,that's about 24 miles from me. I might cycle to it, driving and parking will be a nightmare i expect. Cometh the day i'll probably decide to watch it on the telly instead.
