Earlier today, I headed out to the coast at lunchtime to watch the Tour of Britain passing through, along with a large number of professional cyclists who are familiar from the Tour de France and other great european classics...
The Tour of Britain is following a route which starts in King's Lynn, where I taught for 20 years, through the village where I used to live and then on around the coast before looping back inland and heading for Norwich, before a finish back by the coast at Great Yarmouth.

This would be a useful context for exploring the LOCAL AREA.
Imagine that the Tour of Britain is passing through your home area...
Plan an appropriate route for it to take that would perhaps have some of the following characteristics:
- A long straight stretch (or more) for sprints
- A steep incline (or more) for King of the Mountains points
- Points of interest and towns to pass through
etc....
Here are a few images that I took at lunchtime...
