Tour of Britain cycle race 2018

Ok, I admit I am not normally into cycle races although I know a few of you are. I have just found out that stage two on Monday, will in fact be passing right past my front door.

I stood and watched it last year (a different route) and was surprised by the number of police outriders before they arrive. When they do arrive, it's all over in a few minutes.

I'm hoping to get a few pics.

Here too LD! Going up the Gorge I think.
I don't know why they can't cycle around a track to find out who's fastest though.
It seems to disrupt people's lives.
Sorry, being grumpy but I do get fed up of cyclists riding two or three abreast in groups so you can't pass them.
I might get a photo or two if I see them on my way to my blood test.

The roads will only be closed off around here for an hour or so but I think parking has been restricted.
