Interested to know if anyone enjoys the Tour De Yorkshire?
I enjoy cycling, but are also lucky enough to live in a town which thus far, has featured each year in addition to the Tour De France.
For me I love the organisation that goes into the event. How the Police like to show off, get involved and the sheer amount of folk that turn out to watch the race. The ITV coverage is excellent - full on presenters from the Tour De France and the aerial footage really shows off the County.
If it's anything like the Tour de France, I will give it a miss. 30 seconds of cyclists preceded by self absorbed promotional personnel with grown ups fighting over cheap baseball caps.

Well played to Gary Verity for this - it certainly puts us on the map.
Like you @Count of Undolpho we were blocked in last year as the race literally flew through Shibden. Really fun atmosphere for a good few hours beforehand then whooosh, all done. I had no idea it would be so much fun!
The support car that went through the island and nearly through the marshall is typical. They are too busy looking cool and smiling at the spectators .
