Thanks for the link! I've registered, even though I'm in Somerset, it'd be amazing to be a part of Le Tour! :bigsmile:

Mate, wish I could!

Unfortunately I'm working and there is no way I'd get the time off! :sad:

Very best of luck!

routes look really great - i'm pretty sure I've ridden most of the route (with the possible exception of the last 20 miles or so of the stage into sheffield.

I even tried doing a "proper" routemap of the 2 stages...

Stage 1 - http://www.gpsies.com/map.do;jsessionid=3D4A12F90ED18D9016AFF405511C40EE?fileId=zbyybrmjbuudeiyi

Stage 2 - http://www.gpsies.com/map.do;jsessionid=3D4A12F90ED18D9016AFF405511C40EE?fileId=yzmtvftopimnefwe

(stage 2 goes a little "pear shaped" at the end, as the .PDF map from the ASO has such thick route-lines, you can't actually tell which road it's going along... Of course, a little "local knowledge" from our sheffield/rotherham correspondents might allow me to sort that omission )

Hi, I have made an educated guess at the final miles of stage 2. Funnily enough, it incorporates one of the biggest hills in Sheffield that I only just conquered last week, so when Bradley is zipping up that hill, remember that I was there first. I have used Mapmyride to create the map and have tweeted it at @katozdad. Let me know if you have any difficulty as I am not big on twitter and dont use facebook either.

Tried to upload a map but ran out of time. will try again tomorrow.

Most detailed map yet. http://letour.yorkshire.com/stage-2

Definitely want to do this, or at least a substantial chunk in early spring next year.

Anyone else up for it??!!
