Local Tour of Britain Stage - Wednesday 10th September
Yay - we have a local stage this year! An early ascent of the Malverns (I bet they're not going up to West Malvern from Mathon though) followed by visits to Upton, Pershore, Evesham & Broadway.
Book the day of work folks!

Keen to see this if I am around. who is in? where? I guess either Malvern or snowshill.
Time sheet says about 1100 at The Wyche (err... presume that is Malvern?), so would have to be a reasonably early start from BH.

I'm going back to work then....slogfester wrote:Snowshill is later which will allow us more time to go via Cleeve hill and do a few reps up Bushcombe Lane in prep for the hill TT

Guys, just a heads up, but you might want to leave earlier than you first planned as apparently the Broadway road will be closed and no access will be granted.Philmondo wrote:9.15 at BH sounds alright to me James.
A group of us who were originally planning to leave from the Tardebigge at 10 o'clock, but in view of the above we are now leaving at 9 o'clock.

I don't know when the Tour passes through Broadway but here is some guidance that might be useful for determining the departure time from Birmingham.
A runs to Broadway used to arrive in Broadway at around 11.30-11.45 using a reasonably direct route. In other words, a journey time of 2.15-2.45 hours.

Just to throw some more info-light at this, according to the website
http://www.tourofbritain.co.uk/files/do ... mation.pdf
The only road closures outside of rolling road closures are planned FULL CLOSURES with no
exemptions, for associated activity, as follows:
The Butts, Worcester – between 4-5.30am and 9am – 1pm.
Church Street, Wells Road and Abbey Road, Malvern – between 8am – 2pm
Market Square, Evesham – between 10am – 2pm
High Street, Broadway – between 10 -11.30am
I am a bit puzzled by this because according to the race time sheet they are due on the High St at 1234 (@ av.42 kph)??
http://www.tourofbritain.co.uk/files/do ... A_v2.0.pdf
The support vehicles and race are due on the Snowshill sometime between 1215 and 1236 (42 kph) so I guess we need a depart time and a route that will steer clear of the High St and get us on Snowshill no later than -say- 1145?
I'm in and will meet at Black Horse at ??? time. Weather forecast in v.good
