Was at work yesterday, and mi brother had the greatest of pleasures to inform me that he's seen team Sky going up Herries Rd, I dare say we'll see a fair few teams checking out the route between now and the race.

Me, I'm going to Hawes on Friday night night to watch them come up the "buttertubs" on Saturday, and then make my way to either the top of Holme Moss, or failing that I'll come home and get mi little scooter out and go watch it on Bradfield somewhere. Failing that I may just stay home and watch em come up past my house near Herries Rd... decisions decisions.! Where ever ya gonna be, enjoy it it's gonna be a fab day.!

It's not a few months anymore, it's now just a matter of a few weeks. 6 weeks on Sunday to be exact.

 

Apart from a few road side posters dotted here and there you wouldn't think one of the biggest sporting events in the world was happening in our city in a few weeks time.

 

I was at Meadowhall yesterday and there's a big stall selling TdF memorabilia. And very expensive it is too. £30 for a t-shirt. I will wait until they appear in charity shops.

 

I have seen a couple of yellow bikes in the city centre which I assume are supposed to be adverts for the tour but you'd have to know the Tour is coming to know what they symbolise.

good that they will be closing roads and making people go out of their way for something the majority couldn't care less about.let them cycle round a field.

 

I couldn't care less about the world cup, but I'll get it rammed down my throat for the next month. Why can't the footballers just go and play in the local park? :rolleyes:

 

It's a day or two's minor inconveinence for a small number of people for one of the worlds premier sporting events, watched by tens of millions in Europe alone.

It is the Worlds biggest annual sporting event and it is coming to a road near you, get out the bunting, cut the hedge and sup some Vino:)
