Done - Mods.

I meant to add that if you come to watch on this climb, the obvious places to do it from are the steep bottom section or the second ramp at Keelham Heights. If you would prefer a longer view of the approaching peloton then try to find a spot just below Keelham Heights to get this view...

I have just seen a more detailed map of stage 3

The section of map brings back memories of running a leg of the Calderdale Way Relay out of Tod up to Blackshaw Head, it was a toughy, I have also run the next leg from Blackshaw Head to Wainstalls Road. Thanks for the memories.

Blimey, those would be tough runs!

All you need to know if you want to enter a Cyclechat team, I will have to decline though my knees would protest.

I was quite excited seeing the Sunday route as it rolled out go down Greenhow Hill for a change as it implied something completely different but no still up it and south through Blubberhouses for third year on a row.

Looking at the route it looks to me like they are going down it, a little loop & then back up it Reckon it will be a busy spectator point, as you'll see them twice

The little loop does include Cote du Lofthouse. With the amount of fatalities on the descent of Greenhow I just hope no one over tries going down it.

Looking at it there are maybe two days I could get to.

The stage that goes through horton in ribblesdale/long preston/ribblehead could be handy - all on the settle carlisle line of course.

Me too. I’m thinking Ribblehead for the women then maybe Buttertubs for the men on the Friday. Maybe get to Greenhow on Sunday but that might need a bit of car assist.

Skipton I see gets two stages.

Local businesses must be happy.

coming past the end of my street again in leeds will try and buy some anti blink pills this year to improve my view

Now this has bitten the dust

Suspended rather than cancelled but quite when or how they are going to fit it in is another matter.
