Tour de France Ventoux stage watching

Come along and watch the Ventoux stage 12 this Thursday at Hex cafe in Shoreditch. TV indoor and out, coffee and a beer fridge.

The stage begins 11:45h CET (10:45 BST) and should finish around 1600h BST 2 hours before the cafe closes.

Thing you've got your time zone conversions confused...

it could finish at 3:55pm UK time (BST), at quickest pace they're anticipated to hit the summit at 4:55 CET

Oh yeah. CET is BST+1h. Will correct, ta

Sounds great, if I get my morning right I should be able to squeeze in Kiki's Delivery Service and some Regent's Laps before heading over.

In, looks as if that rhowe character isn't coming. :)

I've amended the event details. Hopefully more accurate now. I probably won't make it until about half 12 or so

Might come and work from there.

I did that last year - they had functional wifi

Surely Swaintoux then ride to Hex?

I'd also imagine Eurosport coverage starts at 1 at the earliest.

I'm hoping to be there, but I have meeting at two.....

So, Ventoux may not be ridden tomorrow. :(

Let's hope it's a false alarm.

They'll likely only miss the final 3 km above the treeline, is what I heard

Edit: Nope. Final 7k missing

The most important thing is that I'm still off work and will be drinking expensive coffee and cheap beer with nice people instead of stuck in some goddamn office somewhere. Shame about losing some kms off the top of the hill but ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Does anyone know what bike storage is like? Inside or out?

A bit like a mini LMNH - a courtyard outside with those vertical hanging hook things. Plus a cage/fence to lock to I think.. but it's all in clear sight from the seats anyway.

can you advise of more notice next time so that they appropriate holiday-requests / workload-considerations can be made in time!!

Will be doing something similar in approximately 12 months

InIn!

Eurosport coverage is from 1:15 to 4:15 today. Coverage of yesterday's stage begins at midday

looked like a good stage to watch,
ref. sight of the bit where Froome was running up the hill!

Sneaked back onto my conf call unnoticed - but still unable to contribute due to inability to stop watching gifs of Froome running!
