The poage on the Yarmouth Tourist Information board!
Leaving King's Lynn the riders will cycle past Sandringham toward Hunstanton, along the coast road to Brancaster and through the grounds of Holkham Hall, then on to Wells-next-Sea. Following the coast road, the cyclists will go through Sheringham to West Runton, then turn inland towards Holt and on to Aylsham past Blickling Hall. Cycling through countryside the riders head off towards Norwich through Buxton and Coltishall following the ring road up Grapes Hill, past Norwich City Hall and The Forum at about 2pm
it will be around 2pm boys. Anyone up for camping out on grapes hill with some tinnies and watch them all sprint up Grapes Hill?

**September 15 · 6:30pm - 10:00pm
Starting at The Forum**2 Millennium Plain, Bethel Street
**Norwich, United KingdomThe Tour of Norwich Alleycat is a big bicycle treasure hunt around our city, seeking out interactive checkpoints on route to The Bicycle Shop on St Benedicts for a social.
Norwich Alleycats are all about enjoying exploring our city, whatever your bicycle and whatever pace you enjoy pedaling it around the city.
The fun starts at The Forum at 6.30pm where you'll be given a gamecard, with 8 checkpoint locations on. All you have to d...****o is plot your own route around them, on route to the finish.
You can ride in groups or as an individual, and an A to Z is always handy.
**I wouldn't mind riding it as a team if anyone else fancies it?

Unlikely.
Got some snaps - whether anything will have come out, I don't know. Will develop @ the weekend and post any good ones.

Today was cool. Met up @ Donny's workshop with Gav, Tom and Sparky. We went up through Mousehold for the King of Mountains, out past the sports field and Zaks and got on the dipping s-bend. How ever many police motorbikes were there? Almost one per rider! Got a load of snaps. Dom turned up just before the pack showed up! Will post a few in a bit.
Sorry I didn't get back to you Col, we all ran out of signal for some strange reason.

There is meant to be a sprint up Grapes Hill...
Here is what the tour website says:
"The two stages in East Anglia are by no means easy and each will present different challenges to the riders. Stage Six, at 190km, is our longest stage for several years, with much of it on small, exposed roads, similar to those in Belgium and the Netherlands.
The wind could play a major role here, so no one can consider them ‘safe’ stages, particularly if they are only defending a narrow lead.
It’s great countryside and while a bunch sprint in Great Yarmouth is expected, we could also see a heroic, long break, such is the nature of the stage."
Sounds good! I will be off on my Paternity Leave from work. May take Noah to have a watch!
