The Tour of Britain

A small race on a small island nobody listens to, and no milk sponsorship. Can it possibly deserve its own thread, idk, but I'm going to watch the TTs at Knowsley tomorrow and I'm really looking forward to it, having watched the end of the stage that finished there last year. My sister and I are taking her smallest; he is a fan of elephants and Cav (he's only three, allowances must be made etc.)

Anyone else got plans to watch? Got sturdy raingear?

Just me then. Some of my snaps from Knowsley:

nice

great. glad to see brad embracing his wiggo.

They were both grand days out. I wish I could have made the Welsh stages, as I know those parts of the country well.

We had a bit of a scare in London; we'd climbed onto a 7 ft wall, and a chap who followed us up fell off onto the railings and caused a big drama. They had medics out to him on pushbikes, he was ok but badly shocked. They let us stay on the wall, which surprised me.
