I have just booked a place on the CTC Cycling Holidays Tour(1436) which will use part of this years TDF stage 1 route (the quieter roads as least) over the Yorkshire moors, from 28 June to 4 July. There are still places available with a nominal closing date of 19 April. If you fancy joining me or just want more detail, go to: http://www.cyclingholidays.org/tours/solo.php?Tour=1436
I plan to drive up on Saturday 28th June (and a could probably squeeze in at least one other bike/passenger), then drive to Harrogate on Friday 4th July to see the Stage 1 finish on Saturday, although I hope to be staying with friends for a couple of nights, so avoiding the need for an hotel. Happy to discuss when we next meet.

The tour booking will remain open for the next 2/3 weeks, and any deposit paid now would secure a place. If more people book then baggage transfer would be available at no extra cost. The Tour Leader, Mike Carey, is happy to take phone calls if you want to discuss the finer point - Tele: 01457 511159, Mob: 07840197726
