Tour of Britain 2018 (*Spoilers*)

I was pished last night when I posted and have no recollection of what my rambling was about

You were saying that the ToB should be reorganised as a single day, 2-stage event based at Regent's Park. A 1-lap prologue in the morning, and a 50-lap sprint stage in the afternoon.

None of us agreed with you!

ROFL no worries, maybe because
A) It's not coming past your house
B) It's coming past your house

Not this year. It was last year.

Years ago, a friend drove me to try and catch the pros ride up Holme Moss. We had to park about 3 miles from the climb because the surrounding roads were closed by police controlling the crowds. We didn't manage to get to the climb itself. The crowds were so big that we could see them all the way up the hill from Holme village below.

I'd suggest that you will probably have to park miles away and walk to your vantage point so set off early. (Or take your bike and cycle from where you park.)

Figured on this,went to lakes a couple of years ago and had a long walk with two moody teens ! They only came cause i got them a day off school.This time its with my partner,so no bikes only cake.She will have to walk.....

Just looked at the route, it's coming through Retford & almost Worksop next Saturday so may have to ride over to have a looksie

Aren't GT and Froome likely to be crowd-pleasers but cooked after their other races earlier this season? I remember Wiggins riding it after winning the Tour in 2012. Crashed stage 1 where I was, DNS stage 6 with a stomach bug.
