Tour of Britain - Stage 3 Advice

[bpsmith]

The Tour hasn't come near Swansea since Constitution Hill in 2010, so looking to travel for Stage 3 this year. It ends at the top of The Tumble near Abergavenny.

I am keen to maybe tackle my first Gran Fondo and combine the two.y mate has offered to take the car part of the way and them ride the rest. His other mate wants to be at the top of The Tumble for the finish, but I think it will be far too busy to have the bikes safely with us.

We also want to be back in Swansea by 6pm for the official opening of the Giant store, as Marcel Kittel is the guest, for obvious reasons.

Opening to ideas on tackling this one!

Anyone else aiming to catch Stage 3 at all?

Might be some info in the ToB thread

Not saying there is, but worth checking

Nothing much in that thread @vickster but did spot someone who is local to the Tumble for Stage 4 end, so worth looking, cheers.

Hopefully they will be able to give a heads up on location to aim for, based on needing to get away early from there.

So you want advice on beating Marcel Kittel?

Lol. Not going to happen.
