L’Etape London by Le Tour de France - "The official TdF legacy sportif"

Three route options, 42 miles/508 metres (@ £40), 92 miles/933 metres (@ £46), and 117 miles/1161 metres (@ £48). All three look to start and finish at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, and end with a lap of the Lee Valley VeloPark.

The longer the route you choose, the bigger the proportion of the 2014 TdF Stage 3 route that you'll actually get to ride. Sadly nowhere near as close to the actual TdF route as the PH tour organised by Gruffy earlier this year, with no Cambridge, and no Mall finish, but an interesting one all the same. I found out about it from Cycling Weekly, while thinning out some of the emails I received while I was away over the last two weeks, and hadn't seen it mentioned on here. I thought I'd mention it as it looks to be the sort of thing some folk here on PedalPowered might be interested in doing.
