Ride London Classique 2023 - Womens WorldTour in Essex
« on: 23 May, 2023, 07:24:49 am »
Just a heads up that the Womens WorldTour hits Essex this Friday 26th May (Saffron Walden to Colchester), then Saturday is a loop starting/finishing in Maldon and Sunday a pootle around London. A good opportunity to see the Pros as the Womens Tour was cancelled  :(

TV coverage on the BBC (red button live/iplayer later) for Friday (13:15)  and Saturday (13:00), then BBC2 on Sunday (15:00) Plus GCN, of course.

Hopefully see some good racing!

Routes changed from last year, which explains something.  Some of the "repairs" to potholes made last year have not lasted well - i.e. completely disintegrated.  I was wondering if they would be fixed again for this years' event but obviously no need  ::-)

The route goes past my parents' house - I'll get them outside to wave!

My commute route, well, about 100m of it, is closed on Friday between 1 and 2pm but the timings don't work for me otherwise I'd watch in person.
