This week I followed The Tour of Britain race for 3 stages.
Stage 3 was a Time Trial started and ending in Knowsley Safari Park:

The stage was won by Sir Bradley Wiggins
The next day the race went from Stoke on Trent to Llanberis in North Wales.
I found a spot 3km from the finish in Llanberis that I though would be good for photos:

The following day the race went from Machynlleth to Caerphilly and I went and stood on Caerphilly Mountain road which they would have to climb twice:

I like the first one a lot, Mikey: nice job.
Speaking of cycling, I had the idea a while back to see if there were enough active participants of said sport on the forum and then perhaps make some custom Team Frost* cycling tops. But then I thought prog fans ... fitness ... cycling ... unlikely ...
That said, I put in a nice 122km ride today ;)
Thanks TA,
I like the idea of Team Frost* cycling kit but as you say ...unlikely...
Good effort on the 122km ride I think they only did 137km on yesterday's stage of the Tour of Britain and the final stage tomorrow is only 88km
