Yeah I'm hoping I can still get a B&B near Holmefirth so I can watch the race go up Holme Moss. Don't drive though, so will have to come up on the train with my bike - but knowing our trains there won't be any free spaces for bikes.

ukle posted:All the B&B's round our way anywhere near the route have been booked out for months, there are tons of camping sites set up though and some of those adhoc sites will have spaces. Yeah, might forget taking the bike as I doubt I'll be able to take it on a train. No camping gear either. Might see about staying in Leeds to watch the first stage and getting the train to see it in Keighley instead (good suggestion).

That's most likely because of the literal carnival too. Time to go for a pint before I get the train to Harrogate then

Ah balls. Got the earliest train I could from Birmingham, but it got delayed so there's a long wait until the next train to Keighley. By the time I get there the race will be just going past - no chance of seeing them go up Oxenhope.

Crowds were good in Keighley - probably had time to walk further up and get up to the start of the hill but oh well. Found myself a spot right on the edge if the road just street after the hairpin. Lots of local businesses/charities out selling food and drink - good atmosphere. Now drinking a pint and watching an old Yorkshireman try to get his dog to let go of a stick

Big crowd watching the big screen in Sheffield. Didn't realise how far out the race finished when I got here though

It's not really the veininess of the arms that gets me, it's how thin they and his legs are.

Long break in the BBC commentary there - maybe stagger your piss breaks a bit better? edit: also lol @ that 30m break in the barrier:  second edit: scenery is good though - those waves looked p. massive in the background. and why don't the organisers just pay whoever does the World Tour coverage to provide the timing?
