Tour of Britain 2015 stage 2

Rider ability: 
Estimated Distance: 
82 miles

Sunday 9th August was pencilled in for a Tour de Yorkshire ride but as the Tour of Britain is coming to Lancashire later this year it seemed to good an opportunity to miss. I am suggesting we ride most of what will be stage 2, the pros will ride this on 7th September. The ToB route starts in Clitheroe and finishes in Colne but I have planned a route to start and finish in Whalley, as we don't have the benefit of team buses to transfer. We will still do most of the major climbs from the ToB.

I might tweak this route a bit yet but at the moment it is about 82m and 6,000ft of climbing. I will also plan a cafe stop.

We would drive to Whalley for about 8am, be ready to set off about 8.30am.

Count me in!
I can take two people, if you need a lift let me know. We will meet at the Bus Station car park near the shop in plenty of time to get to Whalley for 8am
