Tour de France 2014

I was thinking of riding to the start, watching the start and then riding back to London. It'll take about 24 hours and it will mean I ride from Leeds to London quicker than the pros :P

Or I could just watch the TV..

what route do you have in mind? I'm gonna head up (from london) and don't really know much between here and the the peaks, any suggestions part of/all the way, would be most welcome?
