Anyone watching it on the Wirral tomorrow? Great to have a major event here. Just off out for a spin round part of the route. Admittedly not many mountains but exciting non the less. I’ll go and see the start and then loiter at Moreton Cross as it’s near my house and our odd shaped non round roundabout should slow them down a bit to enjoy the spectacle.

We'll watch it arrive in Manchester on Saturday. Before it arrives there, the riders will have climbed Rawson's Raike in Ramsbottom - I bet Cav is really looking forward to that one!

They missed a trick not including a climb from Lower Heswall imo, School Hill to Telegraph/Mount crossroads and The Rake are short and sharp inclines I remember from 30-odd years ago.

Marin, I'll be just up the road from you on the Tarran Estate. I've got work tomorrow but I'm planning on sloping off to watch the race for a bit. Any idea what time they are due to go past?

Loads of my club compradres are going to watch it as it passes through Delamere after a ride to the Mills early doors.

I'm driving to Nottingham for a meeting. ☹️

bobario I don’t know sorry. If you go on the tour website it gives estimated times so Im guessing the fastest time will be most realistic. It’s not listing The Commodores Bridge if your old enough to remember that! Echo website has all details as well.

I’ll be stood outside the Traveller’s Rest in Bebington.
Didn’t get my ramp finished to jump it, so I’ll probably just have a pint of pale ale.

The police riders were having a nice time, good crowd cheering them on outside the pub. Everyone who rode past earlier on a bike got a big cheer too.

Good atmosphere in the Park for the off. Just having my lunch before I head down to see them whizz by.

He looked very happy when I said hello to him earlier.
