ToB 2012

Postby Andrew G » Thu Apr 26, 2012 12:35 pm

They can't stay away, first the Olympics pays us a visit and then the final stage of the Tour of Britain is on our doorstep too.

Stage 8
Sunday 16 September
Reigate to Guildford 147.7km

Surrey’s final leg will see riders head from Reigate, through the finish line in Guildford and out onto the Surrey Hills. With the final climb of the 2012 Tour coming in the last 25 kilometres of racing, plus the uphill, cobbled drag to the finish line, spectators can expect the destination of the IG Markets Gold Jersey to remain undecided until the end.

Perhaps they've realised that Surrey does have some real hills in it 8)

What evil genius decided to finish on Guildford High Street :shock:

yep, you've got it. I've got to work out how I'm going to ride the sportive and see the race. I'm worried this will seriously dent the numbers riding our sportive. I asked TOB to change the date.
