So as you'e heard 2014 edition of the tour will start in Yorkshire, Stage 1: Leeds > Harrogate Stage 2: York > Sheffield and Stage 3 will grace some of my training roads of Epping and Cambridge before finishing in that London.
In honour of this and as Marmotte training a couple of us have signed up for the
Etape du Dales ride in May. My Yorkshire side of the family are getting very excited and its true those Northerners come from tough stock. Brian Robinson (from Hudderfield) was the first British rider to finish the tour and win a stage in 1958.
Riders still say doing the tour takes five years off your life, note pictures above are from 1958 and present day.
