Coming Soon ...

Whilst it's true that the race comes close to my house on the opening two days I'm wary of trying to chase this thing around the County. It will be good to soak up some atmosphere; see the caravan and hear the whirl of the helicopters up above.

But the best view of the race will still be on TV; and seeing all the places I'm so familiar with on the coverage will probably be a bigger thrill than the 90 second blur of the actual race going past.

On a slightly seperate topic I managed to sample the Taylor's Le Champion beer at the weekend. All I can say is: however much it has cost to bring The Tour to Yorkshire it has already been worthwhile.
