Come and join us to experience the thrills of a professional road race close up! The Tour of Britain Stage 2 starts & finishes in Wrexham and we have a unique opportunity to be part of the day!
The plan for the day may change slightly, we’re working with the Tour organisers to make sure we have a great day! The route may change on the day if the tour organisers need us to but we have plenty of options should we need them
We’ll cross the Stage 2 start line ahead of the peloton and ride along Chester Road before pulling over to watch the race go by. Smile for the cameras. :-) We’ll then head back towards Wrexham along part of the route before picking up quieter lanes. From there, we’ll turn back towards Wrexham, and time permitting, re-join the Stage 2 route again, crossing the finish line ahead of the peloton! We should then be able to watch the race culminate in a sprint finish!
We will ride along some busier sections so you’ll need to be confident on the road - there are some quieter lanes also. The expected average pace will be around 10-11mph.
After the race has passed us at the start, we’ll ride in smaller groups to help with the ride flow. There’ll be lots of Breeze Champions available on the day to look after you – just listen out for any instructions along the way, particularly at junctions.
Please arrive by 10.30 at the latest – be mindful that there will be road and carpark closures so you’ll need to allow extra time to get there. We'll confirm the exact start location later on Sunday.
More information on the stage itself is available here
https://www.tourofbritain.co.uk/stages/stage-two/The forecast is good but the weather notoriously unpredictable of late! Layers are recommended and there will be some periods where we’re waiting for the race to come through – we want you to stay toasty! Bring snacks and a drink too – we may have time for a coffee at the start and end but come prepared with enough to keep you fuelled. Please bring a helmet and a bike lock is advised also.
If your plans change and you can’t make the ride, no problem! Please cancel your place though so it’s available for someone else to use.
If you have any questions, give us a shout and we’ll be happy to help. See you there!
Come and join us to celebrate Stage 2 of the Tour of Britain coming to Wrexham! Experience the sights and sounds at the start of a race close up!
Some closed roads but the route will mainly be open road with some busier stretches.
