2016 Aviva Women's Tour
The race starts on Wednesday 15th June. Lizzie Armitstead should be racing, so this will be a chance to cheer on the current World Road Racing Champion.
On Thursday 16th, stage two passes through Beacon Club run territory with a stage from Atherstone to Stratford Upon Avon.
If there is sufficient interest, I'd suggest A, B and C paced runs to a pre-determined point on the course, all meeting at the same point so we can form a tricolore wall along each side of the road in our finest red, white and green spandex. And maybe scrawl LIZZIE and BEACON in the road (as well as the names of some our other favourite racers).
Stages 3 and 4 pass through "Shenton Country" and I gather he is thinking about one of his classic road trips out for one of those stages as well.
So let's get those holiday requests in at work and we can devise routes and more concrete plans in the meantime!

I am planning to ride to Meriden and then to Stratford for the finish.
If people have different plans or variation of pace then we could meet up on Bridge St as near to the finish as possible?!
