Tour of Britain 2012

[Booyaa]

I was planning on going to the stage in Scotland, with logistics now becoming a problem it is looking likely I will miss it.

 

[Hacienda71]

Me too! (Gun Hill). I'll wear a pink carnation

Pink doesn't go with a blue Ribble

 

[Peteaud]

Going to pop over to Devon (are you reading this Somerset CC) to watch it go through Dartmoor.

I just looked on TV and it says "Live coverage" of stage one starting at 1345. Looking at our clock I thought we could go and see that at Thorpeness or Leiston. Got my wife excited as she is on Cav's facebook fan page and is quite getting into this cycling lark. I thought I ought to just check estimated times on the Tour website and realised it is not live coverage of the start so no chance of getting to see them. Maybe Guildford next week.

Cav was dead last when they went by. Guessing he had stopped to chat to all his fans at the start.

Did make for an easy spot and pictures.

The Tour starts about 300 metres from my front door

And finishes 300 metres from mine.

We are just about to cycle along to Colton, just up the road from us. Maybe even to the Royal Norfolk Showground and watch the end of the race. We both did the challenge ride yesterday and hubby is not feeling motivated to get on his bike right now. I am off to nag at him a bit.

And finishes 300 metres from mine.

Yay!

I enjoyed seeing the peloton amble past a couple hundred yards after the start, and it made a nice change to have camera helicopters over my neighborhood instead of the usual police helicopter.

Shhh!

Well itv4 have just said they are cycling just over 2000 km today!

Thank God Mr Phil "Lance is innocent" Liggett is not commentating on ITV!

 

[endoman]

Couldn't stomach Hugh Porter on the Olympic coverage, he's not a deal better here. At least it's not Liggett. Far prefer Eurosport's people. Looking forward to riding out and watching tomorrow.

 

[Noodley]

Ouch, that looked like it's gonna smart a bit!

Porter just shouts out any old shite into the microphone, thankfully there is usually someone there with him to tell us what is actually happening...
