Women's Tour of Britain
Discussion
Been following this all week, great racing and a huge amount of spirit and camaraderie from the whole tour. Recce'd a bit of stage 5 this morning before they went through to stick a few (abysmal) times in on Strava to see what the pro ladies manage to do. Predictably crushing to see them dominate the 'today' segment rankings!
It was really well supported too, crowds along almost all of the main route where I was in Bucks.

I was at the finish both in Stevenage yesterday and Hemel today. It's a fantastic event and has a huge following amongst the pro peloton. Believe it or not, they have to turn teams away as they can only accommodate about 100 riders. Hopefully after the last 2 years that will now change.
After yesterday's wet finish and getting water in the lens I went over to Hemel to hopefully get some decent pics and meet up with the ladies of Velocio. Accomplished both
had a good chat with the team boss, left the riders alone, they were knackered!
If you follow the tour on Twitter Marianne Vos was asking for local guides so she could ride from start to finish and see bits of the tour passing through!!
Roll on 2016 is all I can say.
