It comes quite close to my house, on a weekend.

Not close enough to me unfortuantely, but the route looks much more interesting this year than last.

The end of the Welsh stage is only a few miles away, but I don't think I can make it with my daughter after school.

Probably catch a bit of it in the Lakes and I might be in London on the weekend that it finishes there.

I live in Builth Wells and work in Brecon so should be able to catch some decent action ๐Ÿ™‚ I experienced it for the 1st time last year and am really looking forward to seeing it again.

I'd love to cycle over to see it actually.. may not win brownie point with the family though if I go on my own!

Yep either go down to Drumlanrigg with the family and have a day out or ride down there, watch the finish then ride home.

Yup!

Its coming through Snowdonia, so I'm going to ride the section from Betws to the top of Pen-y-Pass, watch from the hill, then ride dwon to the finish in Llanberis.

Really looking forward to it, and it's on my birthday as well ๐Ÿ™‚

Another one for the North to South Wales stage here, will probably watch above Builth Wells (as I did last year) then follow it down to Devon. It's become a bit of a camper van road trip for me the last couple of years. 8) Happy birthday Sue, I must be 4 days older than you ๐Ÿ˜‰

I was thinking that I would cycle along to either Buttermere or Honister, I am tempted to see how quickly they come over the top.

The Seatoller section sounds like a crazy idea for a bunch to attempt.

Doubt it, doesn't come east enough. Hardly a Tour of Britain. Bit like when the RAC rally changed it's meaning to Rally Around Cheltenham.

Thanks psling! I'm going to be 21 again, so I guess that will make you 21 + 4 days ๐Ÿ˜‰

Enjoy the Tour down south ... really glad that Wiggins is riding after missing him in Le Tour in France!

[i]Hardly a Tour of Britain[/i]

You do know the Tour de France doesn't go to every bit of France.
