Tour of Britian

[atbman]

The finish made an exciting addition to the U12s Italian Pursuit held on the same road, just beforehand.

Two teams from East Bradford CC contested the final and provided another couple of riders to another team

They were all from our Kids Saturday Bike Club

Just thought I'd mention it

me and some clubmates are going up gun hill for the cat 1 climb tomorrow and hoping to leg it down to the finish in stoke.

same here, tough climb is it?

actually not too bad. i was surprised it was cat 1, i suspect due to length rather than gradient. the climb coming out of wincle is far tougher, but the pros are being spared that particular nasty.

that was a cat 1? It was easy, one small bit at 16%!

anyone going to watch the tour through Somerset tomorrow and Friday ?

I'm hoping to catch it somewhere between Chard and Crewkerne on Friday morning . Probably at the top of Windwhistle hill or in the small streets of Crewkerne where they'll have to slow right down

i take it you were with the manc wheelers' peloton i saw…

you're right, it seems a bit easy for a cat 1 compared to many of the other climbs around those parts. it's a regular on our (macc wheelers) club runs.

yeah, I'm the lanky streak of p1ss on the wilier, blue overshoes on

We came back over "the roaches"? Never heard of it before but it was tougher than gun hill, 20% in places.
