Iv just started to watch this on ITV4 the aerial views already look spectacular and will only get better when the cyclists approach Manchester

Beautiful weather showing of the area fantastically. Even the missus is saying I didn't know it was like this around Manchester lol typical cockney !.

Plenty of City shirts on show :)

They made the descent down Brabyns Brow which is steep look so easy.

The grains bar climb is nasty at the bottom but eases quite nicely.

Today starts the Tour of Britain. Altrincham-Deansgate. All kicks off at 11:45 and I’m going to cycle to Hale to have a gander. It’s live on ITV4. A bit pee’d off with the BBC as of yesterday it wasn’t even mentioned, not even on their cycling calendar.

Watched them at Compstall just outside Marple. Good crowds. I was on the telly taking photos. (Bottom right)

And the road is a rutted mess.

I watched them come up Werneth Low, not even out of breath, there’ll be a lot of local Strava KOMs smashed today.

Yes, that’s where we were. Did our own ride to and from there too. It was great - and fast - but next time I wanna see them go up that road instead of down it!
A great day out in glorious weather :-)
