Next year Yorkshire will be all 'French' as Le Tour (the Tour de
France) kicks off from our region. With that in mind, and as the
originator of LATP, and the name of the show, how about changing
it next year to "Leafers at Le Pit" ? - maybe we could get some
of our French chums to attend (although Drew is already 'in')
but some of the Le Temps des Series

T'tour f'st stage run-in to Harrogate has been set up to emulate
a stage Cavendish has won elsewhere (can't remember which).
I will be mostly on top of a land-rover in a friend's field near
Jervaulx having possibly daubed O L L R on the 6108 the night
before.
We're all looking forward to the improved road we'll be getting
apart from the local mechanics who have been making a living
changing springs because North Yorkshire Highway(men) only paint
pretty lines around potholes but not bother to fill them in.
Harrogate's pedestrian zones by contrast are like billiard
tables. However if it takes the thought of global broadcast of a
mangled mass of twisted carbon, ripped lycra and latin
temprement smeared across Masham's main arterial route to get
something done, I'm all for it.
They've got their work cut out; every mile out of Harrogate the
quality of the road halves to the point on the A6108 just out of
Masham but before the ice cream parlour at Jervaulx (cows
already putting in the overtime) where it reaches the border
with Richmondshire, where unencumbered by such a 'precious'
settlement as Harrogate, the roads are like French autoroutes.
Watch out for it as the peloton suddenly hits the brakes as they
approach the imaginary cartographic boundary that translates to
an 'on-the-ground' ramp of Offa-like proportions. It'll be
marked on the riders' route cards and I'm fully expecting
time-trial-like bike changes for fully suspension downhill bikes
until they pass Ripon, where, as preferred choices of vehicle
turns to Porsche and Maserati, further bike swaps will be the
order of the day...
If you're visiting before then; look out for the "sheep in
yellow jerseys" trail. Seriously.
