Has anyone tried riding the route of the Tour de France whilst it's happening?
A family friend did something I think they called "one day ahead" where they did the route one day a head of the Tour. It was pretty tough apparently. I will look to see if they have a page or blog that's still active.
Edit:
Here's the original page http://onedayahead.co.uk I don't know if they were the first to do it, but it now looks like a regular thing: http://www.beforethetour.com

Has anyone tried riding the route of the Tour de France whilst it's happening? I'm thinking it would be great to ride the closed roads a few hours before the race begins/ the inevitable catch of my lone breakaway
I might attempt to ride the Abbeville - Le Harve and Livarot - Fougeres stages before catching the St Malo ferry back to the UK.
