It's passing within 100 yards of my house on 30th. I'll be there

Anyone planning on watching stage 1 & traveling by train, be aware that RMT Northern staff will be striking that day, so Northern will be running a very limited service between Hull, Bridlington & Scarborough

Team Wiggins not invited:

Wasn't there an editorial on it, in the 'comic', or a readers letter, about how Wiggins himself pulled out on day 1, the others sat at the back (or DNF'd), with only one rider in the top-20?

Presume that's something to do with footballists??

Hence, giving the place to a more deserving team (that was the implication)

If the weather is reasonable I will cycle over and try and catch the action around Cracoe on Sunday

If you're in Halifax on Sunday and can't get a spot on Lee Lane to cheer the riders on, the bottom of Range Lane might be a good place to watch from.
It's narrow,about as steep as any other hill on the route and they'll have the tightest of tight left handers at the bottom of the hill - freshly resurfaced in the last couple of weeks too...
