Tour of Britain 2023 *Spoilers*

I guess Scotland has the worlds. Looks thin for those of us north of Beverley, hope they do a long Yorkshire. route.

You had the British National Championships. Great course by the way!

Notts stage in my Diary . They started in Nottingham a couple of times recently 2018 ,2022 and headed south into Leicestershire about 20 miles from home so a nice day out to watch .
This time I won't be going for the Kom into Wysall village only to be destroyed by the pros, me 18.2 mph Alex Dowsett 28mph !!! Peleton went up at 25mph chatting away like a Sunday social ride .

Hopefully the central England stage will be close to us as well. It might be around Meridan (I think they've done it around there before)

I'm going to try and take a couple of days of work and either do Beverley or Notts.

Stages 4 and 5 only so far. The web site is a bit dumb - the routes are showing under Stage Profile and Timings despite saying to be announced

https://www.tourofbritain.co.uk/stages/stage-four/ Sherwood Forest to Newark in a route that looks a bit like some NCNs

I don't blame you. I'd ignore me if I could.

The "Central England" stage is Tewkesbury - Gloucester.

I think someone needs to get a dictionary and look up the definition of central.

That is (just) in the area generally known as The Midlands. I would say it is on the edge of what can reasonably be described as "central" but just about Ok.
