2015 Tour of Britain

Literally, actually meaning figuratively for most people!

The Stoke - Nottm route looks a cracker - mostly through Derbyshire. They are going down Winnats, up Monsal, up Beeley, up Riber, up Surprise view - plenty of narrow roads and lumpy terrain in there to split things up but with a not too difficult run in to Nottm for the last 10k or so.

Cant believe im going to have to peer over my back fence for stage 2.

Can't wait. Might have to try to get to the top of the Trough early doors.

It's not going up the Trough, is it?

Stage 4 quite literally finishes around 400* yards from my Mam's normal sized doorstep.

Apologies if anyone was offended by my misuse of the English language and/or had made plans to camp outside my Mam's doorstep in an attempt to watch the sprint finish. Please don't do this, you will miss it. You need to walk literally 400* yards down the road to see it.

*Disclaimer - it could be more than 400 yards, I haven't measured it. It's a rough approximation in an attempt to get across the point that stage 4 finishes relatively close to my Mam's house.

Didn't think they had released such a detailed route yet, can you let me know where you've seen all that or is it just your opinion ? Riber would be a litle difficult to get a peloton up !
