This years Tour of Britain....who will be going to see it?

[Dave7]

One stage is finishing in Warrington....right outside the town hall 'golden gates'.
I had intended to go but then thought....I can sit at home in comfort and watch the whole race.
BTW.......
At the finish line there will be a VIP hospitality section. Open from 1200. Running buffet and continuous drinks.
All for......£156

Going past my front door so I can't really avoid it.

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Goes nowhere near my front door, will have to watch it on the tellybox

 

[fossyant]

Probably go and watch it some where local, or in North Wales (@Hacienda71 can we come to sit on your driveway ?)

 

[13 rider]

I planned my trip to Cornwall a week too late so will miss the 1st stage there and then as @Supersuperleeds says coming nowhere near Leicester this time

 

[cougie uk]

Yes either Wales or Cheshire. It's an excuse for a ride tbh. It's not that exciting watching the race as you've no idea what's happening usually.

It normally passes by the end of the lane where I live, so I get to see the competitors up close and personal as they fly past.

It is a bit of not much seeing the peloton fly by at 30mph, isn't it?

 

[ebikeerwidnes]

I'm thinking of going to see the finish in Warrington

Only a short ride away - seems a shame to not see it IRL

then I'll watch it on the telly the next morning

The men's race comes nowhere near here, but the final stage of the Women's Tour goes along Trimley High Road about 100 yards from my house and finishes on Felixstowe seafront just down the road, so I'll probably get to see a bit of this instead.

Not quite worked out if there is a double catch opportunity. Could see the start at AP and get back to Wilmslow for the sprint on our road, bit boring though. Would be better to see it first in Macc forest at the first climb but not sure if it would be possible to get from there to Wilmslow quick enough.

Nice spot near Blenau in Snowdonia to see a 'mountain' stage. I was up by Trefriw a few weeks back, no chance. They will likely do it in 15th gear.

 

[Tail End Charlie]

Just checked the route. They are going on many roads I ride. I guess that'll be me shoved down another (size of peloton) places down strava. Fortunately I don't do strava anymore.

A few years ago, when I did do strava, I was happy if I got within twice the time of the leader on any segment (so they were twice as fast as me). I noticed one day that the leader had changed and he was three times faster than me! I realised the TOB had ended a stage there when I recognised the name - Andre Greipel.

If you wish to buy us both the hospitality package I will meet you there .
£312 for both of us.
If you are skint I will chip in the 12 quid.

Passes within a couple of miles away on the way to Saturday’s stage finish so I guess it would be rude not to
The last time we saw it was the Castle Douglas finish a few years ago won by Greipel, that was a great atmosphere, very enjoyable indeed.
