good news for me as the final stage passes through wigan and finishes on deansgate ,Manchester .

Ramsbottom Rake on the last stage. That’s a stiff climb, but I think finding a spectating spot may be equally challenging.

It doesn't go past my living room window so I won't watch it ..

Look at it! Far too much freewheeling downhill! They've not included the challenge of pedalling six hours continuously around the fens. Rubbish!

The Berwick to Newcastle stage will be beautiful, and the finish is going to be an evil uphill sprint - a real shame we aren't living in the area any more.

Judging from my experience of watching a race finish there years ago, don't go by bike!

I went to watch a circuit race in Manchester City Centre once. I walked down the length of Deansgate and there was a nice bike locked to nearly every lampost, traffic sign, and bus stop. I walked the circuit and by the time I got back somebody had trashed every bike wheel. There was a crowd of thousands, but that didn't stop the idiots doing it!

Three circuits of Burton Dassett Country Park will be good for me, great short steep climb and only an hour on the bike from me, plus it's a Friday, so long weekend.

im not planning on going to the final stage in Manchester , it will be manic, I will watch them go through wigan, and I will go to see the finish of stage 4 at kendal, as I have done previously, cracking uphill finish at beast bank which is 11%.
if anyone from anywhere near me (within 20 mile of wigan) wants to go to the finish at kendal, I will have room in the car.

A finish in my home town. Hurrah, might get some pot holes filled in.

Its near home for a change. Less than a mile. Werneth Low is a nasty climb. Will MTB it up there then pop home and catch the train into Manchester for beers.

Unfortunately I'm away. Is the Werneth Low climb Cowlishaw Lane? It'll be interesting to see how quick they go up if they're properly racing. They should send them up Apple Street/Cock Brow instead, that would sort the men from the boys :-)

It virtually does go past mine, I'm slightly gobsmacked actually.

Better tidy up that front garden then, and get rid of the Cortina on bricks...
