Norman Verona Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Just heard that the Tour de France is going through the village we used to live in, Low Bradfield. Should be fun seeing as you can't get two cars past each other on the roads in and out of the village. I'd better just check that as HM came in to tell me. ed to add that's not quite right. It's coming down the A616 NEAR High Bradfield. Not through the village. So, have I got this right. Day one is Leeds to Harrogate. Then bikes on cars as second day is York to Sheffield. Then bikes on cars and down to Cambridge for day three for Cambridge to London. More miles on a car than peddling. Quote

Norman Verona Posted January 17, 2013 Author Posted January 17, 2013 I've been informed that the residents of High Bradfield have been todl the TdF is going through the village. The map shows it going along the A616. I'll look for another map. Quote
langy Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 I'll be taking a couple of days holiday to go and watch it Quote
pistonbroke Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 How can it be tour de french unless they ride the bikes over here ? have they got cycle lanes through the chunnel now as well as every where eff ing else 1 Quote
Norman Verona Posted January 17, 2013 Author Posted January 17, 2013 It is going through Bradfield. They showed my old local on Look North a few minutes ago. They're also going up Holmes Moss. that should be good. Quote
FILFAN Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 yeah holme moss will be fun on the down hill. i wouldnt fancy riding up it Quote
Norman Verona Posted January 18, 2013 Author Posted January 18, 2013 No, they're riding UP it. Looks like they'll go through Holmfirth and then down towards Stocksbridge and then down Mortimer road to Bradfield. That my guess anyway. Quote
