Le Tour Grand Depart 2014

Wow! Went to a meeting this week in York about next year's Tour de France Grand Depart.  The people there were so excited, over the moon about the opportunities it will bring to the north of England. The film they put together is well worth seeing on the www.letouryorkshire.co.uk

I've had a good response from my posting on the Team Glow facebook page:

Fancy a challenging bike ride? In Yorkshire? We've got till next year to work up to it - a pre-ride of the Tour de France's first stages from Leeds and York. Here's the likely route http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/cycling/tour-de-france/9808671/Tour-de-France-2014-maps-from-Yorkshires-grand-depart.html 

I'm excited about the variety of pre-rides people could do in the next 15 months before the big event.  Some of it could be quite challenging, so it's a good opportunity to train some more ride leaders as well. http://www.bikeright.co.uk/services2/instructor_training/it_other/
