You won't find many car parks with views as good as that one's!

I'm coming down Friday night, in car, with bike (barring last minute disasters out of my control) and Mrs F, a friend, one of my kids and her friend are joining us at some point on the Sat, while I'm out riding with you chaps... so my plan is to park the car at t'golf club very early Sunday morning (they're open at 6am) and walk back to PW to join the others, and 'line the streets', so to speak.You won't find many car parks with views as good as that one's!

Don't talk about black pudding! I made the mistake of going on some medical websites when *something* was bothering me and saw some horrific pictures of major blood vessels dissected from the bodies of people who had died from it. I will never look at a black pudding the same way again ...!

We would love to come up for both days and see the Buttertubs climb as well but training for the National 100 takes priority. The plan therefore is to drive up and stay Saturday night with Kiwi Sal, drive a bit closer to Cragg Vale Sunday morning, ride the touring bikes from the Littleborough end to the top of CV, then when all has passed ride down into HB and see what's going on. I am guessing there might be a few on here around?

yep. My over the tops ride in sees me emerge almost facing straight down Turvin Road so I can see the whites of their eyes as they take the bend.

You probably will not be able to get into the park at that time, but if you can - a big screen will be showing the rest of the stage, and a crowd of over 5,000 is expected. I could well be in there.

Penistone Hill just after Haworth?
It isn't a classified climb, but it is a steep little bugger. I rode up it a few days ago to remind myself what it is like. I'm sure the peloton will breeze up, but it will be impressive to watch them do it.
Here it is on Street view. The riders will come down the road along the top of the dam at that reservoir below and then launch straight into the climb. It isn't steep for more than a few hundred yards, but if you stand about where the SV car was, you will get a good view down the hill, and could then turn and watch the riders power their way up the shallower climb above you.

I have come down with a cold! Hopefully, it will only last a couple of days, but I feel pretty rough today. The runny nose only lasted 24 hours, but it has moved down to my chest now.
I don't think it should keep me off my bike in a week's time. I definitely could not do the forum ride today but I will take it easy and see how I get on.
I will go for a stroll today to keep my legs working, but I won't break any speed or distance records!
