Stage 3 Tour de France Grand depart

The route has been officially declared today . It still looks a bit vague to me , running in an arc roughly through Saffron Walden . Anyone got a better route details ?

You can do some zooming in on the PDF = there's also a version here that shows the Cambridge part up to Shelford Road...

That map is a little weird - it only be french
Why are random places highlighted in bold.

.Croydon
.Dartford
.Gravesend
.Kingston

That's probably places ear marked by the Vichy government as nazi sympathisers

Yay!

Past the end of my road and straight past the in-law's front door on Shelford Road.

And plenty of time to think up some awesome road graffiti.

I am so excited for this. On roads I do daily, this is just surreal.

This is a decent route map:

Someone should probably organise some sort of l'Etape du Tour on this route.

Great map thanks , I couldn't find anything with decent details

Finchingfield is a great cycling stop. It also goes past my stall on Sidney street .

Decisions decisions ....

Thinking the same thing

Such epic news, I am more than a bit excited. (although dont read the comments on the Cambridge news, so many miserable sods)

Definitely going to be group rides down the route, Im sure I will ride it a few times!

I got a PDF of the route in Cambridge for the ride out . Unable to work out how to post it here :-(

It basically starts on Gonville place and goes up , regents street/ St. Andrews / Sidney street then down trinity street/ kings parade/ trumpington street .

it must go past sawston then, excuse for a dayoff work, a few
beers and back home
