The Tour of Britain is set to come to Norfolk in September of this year.
The race is the biggest professional cycling race in Britain, and should bring in a lot of revenue for the areas that it passes through. The first 5 stages of the race are over in the west of England, with stages ending in Blackpool, Stoke on Trent, Swansea, Teignmouth and Glastonbury (perhaps a finish on the summit of the Tor ?)
The news of the race was featured in today's Lynn News, as the route will bring the race through West Norfolk and then along the North Norfolk coast in a route between King's Lynn and Great Yarmouth on September the 16th.
This would be an excellent context, particularly for those schools which are in areas which the race is passing through...
Could be a chance for some route planning, and consider some of the other issues related to the race coming through an area...
I shall be somewhere along the route....
All too soon it will be time for the big sporting event of the summer too... the Tour de France...
