shanes teeth Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Are there any maps of the route available? Anybody know where I can get one (on paper, not computer.) We got a really good map yesterday from Penistone library produced by Barnsley council and covering the section from around Flouch to Bradfield.I haven't seen anything similar for Sheffield. I'll be going up somewhere near the start and then nipping back to the Barnsley area to watch them pass again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclecar Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 This may seem very mundane, but I am looking to take the bus into town. tram to the Arena, and then hope for the best. Can I assume there will be some food and ale available. And perhaps a big screen showing progress, etc. I am getting to old to start walking from Owlerton to a hilly bit.........

Flanker7 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Anyone know the points available for the various category hills in this years Tour. The best I've found is 2012 which gives only 1 point for the first rider over the top of a cat4 hill - Jenkin Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not try to get a "backie" off somebody on a bike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stressconsul Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Look North saying tonight that Leeds and York have done a great job welcoming Le Tour but that Sheffield has made a feeble effort. Is this true? Makes Sheffield look bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanes teeth Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 We went out on the bike yesterday to find a good place to watch.Followed the route from Flouch all the way back to Jenkin Road and then lost the route. All the way the route was decorated with with singns,bunting,yellow bikes,"sculptures"in fields etc.Through Outibridge and Worral it was particularly good.When we got to Sheffield,virtualy nothing.Very poor!

gamezone07 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 That's very sad, I hope people now start to make some effort, and the council of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes Sheffield look bad. It does make Sheffield look bad and I'm not surprised to be honest. We are no longer the city of sport just the city of shame. Did anyone feel inspired by Isobel Bowler and Richard Caborn's interview on Look North? I didn't that's for sure. And I'm sure Amy finished her segment by saying thank you LICHFIELD!!
