tour of britain

Just noticed it goes past my front door, my stagger out and take a look.

It's just a mile or so from me, but I'll be watching on Werneth Low - the wife has indicated she'd like to come, on the MTB's - I will be getting cursed up that hill.

Please do something about the motorbike camera - out of focus, and colour washing out in the sun. And the presenters leave a lot to be desired too - Rob Hayles is just about OK but the other one - Marty McDonald? - is almost impossible to listen to.

I'm planning to ride out on Saturday 14th with some of my son's team:

Just watched them come past me. I do this corner on my way back home. I'm not quite sure I'm as stylish looking but to be fair I do have to stay on the correct side of the road.

steve cumming crashed and taken to hospital, sad to hear on the day they ride through the area where he lives

Only if you want to live and what's the point if you're gonna have as much style as Duane Dibbley?

That's me and the dog just there. I know it's hard to tell. The dog's not looking too interested there, so I asked him who he fancied for the stage and he said Dylan Groenewegen. So I said, why him and he said, well he does tend to Winalot.

pity we haven't got a groan button instead of a like button, though I must say @Crackle in this photo you are better looking than I imagined

At least it got your good side.

Absolutely fascinating to watch them ride roads I do every week and gratifying to see them rising out of the saddle at the same points, though I would say they tend to be moving a smidge faster.

I did also wonder about a couple of the tight turns on that route and sure enough there was one or two crashes and a few close calls on the bends I was concerned about.

Here's one of the corners I was worried about.



I always go wide and lean in on this. Might take it a bit easier there in future!
