Britain?s towns and cities play host to cycling?s elite between 29 August and 3 September as the Tour of Britain returns for another year. Sixteen teams will battle it out over six days of gruelling riding through spectacular and demanding countryside. The winner will be crowned on the podium in The Mall, London on Sunday 3 September.
If you are in London this Sunday Sep 3rd I’d suggest heading to one of the Royal Parks or Buckingham Palace to check out the final stage of the Tour of Britain.
Of course if you are in any of the other locations do the same (just that most Aussies don’t know Britain exists outside London).
I wont be in town so Mal, my roving reporter – with her flashy new Canon (can I have it.. please!?), will be covering the event for me. Nice.
I remember when the ‘The Tour’ was full of feeble entrants with a selection even riding mountain bikes cos they didn’t like ‘racers’. That was about 20 years ago. Hopefully it’s more competitive now
What is this "Brit-ain" of which you speak. Is it in London?
RA: It looks a ‘little’ more professional now:

ES: "Brit-ain" is the capital village of Brit-ainius the world’s premiere multi-screen cinema complex. It is located in Nodnol and borders with Scotland, Ireland and blue-streaked office carpet. With a population of -178*pi, its main exports are polution, venereal disease and Ebay Powersellers.
I hope you feel more informed now.
