Skirts dangerously close to the feral inbred beasts of the West.

Hopefully the authorities can co-ordinate with ITV4 and Netto to bring about the dream combo of a Jezza Kyle marathon and a BOGOF on jam flavoured WKD that should keep them all indoors.

Otherwise you're risking Wiggo being burned at the stake for witchcraft whilst the mayor has sex with his bike

Good news.
Can't escape that it always seems a bit uneventful to see them all cruising out of Carlisle and it's a bit of non-event as a spectator sport for us city dwellers..
Mind I don't suppose Stanwix Bank could be classed as a category 4 climb.

Is some of that route on the bit of the A591 that's currently closed? Hopefully they'll get it re-opened in time. Would be a good incentive anyway...

Yes it be reopened.. folk can already cycle that way on the a591.. be good for a tourism boost come september.. They have lost plenty of tourism recently unfortunately...but having some thoughts on lost revenue for busineses down that way...are [censored] tourists thick at geography and useless at planning other routes into central lakes??

Probably a similar start to 2012...

Start at town hall
Loop around the Castle/Hardwicke Circus
Georgian Way/Spencer St
Botchergate and onto St Nic bridges
Upperby Road to Brisco
Over Newbiggin Rd to Wreay
Join A6 to Penrith

Not sure where the racing began last time but they were certainly moving by the time they hit Botchergate.

Whinlatter from the west is nothing but the descent will be fun to watch.

Coming down from Whinlatter on the bike is nerve wracking..sharp bends at speed.. very easy to go off at this point..especially in the wet. Only 1 tough bit garn up though at Spout Force.

Why do these cyclist types insist on riding two abreast on a major road when theres a cycle track running along side it .No wonder they get all the abuse the sooner they start to pay road tax the better, knobs.

Better bait needed than that old bean.
Report Card Reads: 1/10, Must try harder ;)


Nice to see another northern stage, wonder who'll ride it this year since La Vuelta is back on Sky's radar and with it being Olympic year....may be a bit of a depleted field.

Neutral zone usually a couple of KM isn't it?

MRF will be at roadside with a sign saying 'SHOULD HAVE GONE BY DERWENT PARK'

4 laps of the speedway track is not to be sniffed at.

Depends on the stage I guess. Prudhoe-Hartside stage last year was neutral until Hexham about 5 miles in.

Nobody in the UK has paid road tax since it was abolished in the 1930s.

Try to keep up.

I've never got this fascination with cycling. Surely you shouldn't be on a bike,past the age of 14?


There,how's that?

Surely past the age of 14 you should be able to use commas?
