Tour of Britain
Discussion
.. Details finally announced.
Looks like a crit in Liverpool, then a not very bumpy ride through north wales to llandudno. This then goes to a more bumpy trek down the spine of wales, ending with a really spicy looking hill finish.
Stage 4 looks like a lumpyish trek from Worcester to Bristol, then 5 is a nice looking circular route from exeter to exmouth, via Dartmoor. This looks like a really good one for spectators, because if you're clever you can see them twice very easily..
Stage 6 is Bath to Hemel, then 7 snakes from Camberley to Brighton. The last stage is interesting beacuse it's split. The time trial looks utterly pointless (8.8 miles, I mean at least make it a 10), before the final 10 lap circuit in London.
Overall, I'm really looking forward to it. I reckon I'll go to the first 2 stages, but I'm not as chuffed with stage 2 as last year - it doesn't look nearly as lumpy. If I can get a vantage point of any sort for Liverpool, I'll be chuffed though.
So, who's watching it live? I'll be riding from Cheshire to the first 2 stages, I'll keep an eye out for PH jerseys =)
