Tour of Britain 2017 **Spoilers**

[brommers]

Just noted that Cylance Cycling (never heard of them), an American Continental class team, are due to participate in the Tour of Britain. I thought that it was odd that they were preferred to a British team - then I looked down the list of official partners and lo and behold there was Cylance.

Tour of Britain have updated their website with more details on the stages - times, tele coverage, etc.

Good to see the ToB website is as awesome as ever.

Probably ride up to watch near Oxford and then show my face at the planned Cyclechat pishup in the city, subject to using Mrs Dr B's office as secure bike parking/changing facilities.

ToB is on my normal circuit.

Going to watch on Sunday with my bike. I've never spectated at a pro cycle event before and wonder how long before it passes through can you use the roads?

I'm going to stand at the spot where I incur near cardio failure on a daily basis just to see them breeze up at more than 20mph no doubt.

Thanks

Usually it's a rolling roadblock, if it isn't a circuit stage, so you should be fine up to half an hour or so before they get there.
