I'd love to see them come down my narrow little street, and do the right angle turn at the end onto the cobbles!

The list for stage 2 doesnt look right why would you go from knaresborought to silsden it was copied from the BBC website so I am keeping an eye out for any other websites with it on incase it is wrong.

Brilliant brilliant brilliant......I know where I'll be on 5 July

I am going to take 2 days off and on the 1st day try to get to the start in the morning then scoot back home to the finish by bike in the afternoon (taking an alternative route ) but on the second day I would have to take the bike in the car as Hebden Bridge is 45 miles from me so I guess it would be a trip to York in the car and park on the outskirts then bike in for the start then over to HB and coffee with @colinj for the finish

I'm guessing that they will go from Hawes over Buttertubs Pass on the way to Reeth. I'll try and get up to the Pass - it'll be great seeing the pelloton go up that 1:6

But I've also put my name down as a volunteer, so I might have to go where I'm told.

Oh good I will be able to come and give you some hassle then

 

[Night Train]

Blurgh!

Couldn't sleep last night (an excess of sleep recently maybe) and have got up late with a bit of a headache.
I decided to finish reading a book last night, one I grabbed off my shelf to read while waiting at the GP's yesterday. I got tot he end and the last page was missing! To be fair the book is a 58 year old paperback, but I must find another copy of it at some point to see how it ends.

Have and cough medicine now.

 

[phil_hg_uk]

I added something to my last post........

well we will have to see what @colinj will be up to no doubt he will be along shortly to tell us, but I think it would be great if we could organise some sort of meet or a ride to coincide with the TDF the more the merrier

The butler did it.

You have your Xray today don't you? Hope that goes well. If you take a book, make sure it's got all its pages!

I think I need a bit of a lie down again now.

Yes, X-ray at 2pm. Should be fine.

Have a good rest and try not to do too much.

One of many reviews.
I have added a comment at the end but as the blog is American, I think, I don't think I will be getting a copy of the book on offer.
