The forecast looks good but I don't fancy cambridge.
I'll be leaving mine for Finchingfield at 7:00. It's a 50 mile trip so 100 for the day. There is a recreation ground at Gt Eversden where people could park and that reduces the trip to 35 miles. I'll wait there until 8 and at an 18 mph avg we should arrive at 10:00, 75 minutes before the caravan.
I'll be taking some food and drink as I expect the pub might be busy

As an alternative to the ride into Cambridge to see the start of stage 3, I’m thinking of riding out to Great Shelford which is about 25 miles from the Market Square.
The Caravan runs through Great Shelford at 10.30 and then the race itself at 12.30. I’d personally like to be there for all of this, especially as having seen other bike races the peloton really does pass by in a flash. Therefore an 08.15 start and an easy ride over should see us there before 10.00. It’s an early one, but gives time to hopefully find a decent spot (or a spot) and perhaps pick up some freebies. Having googled about events it appears a number of other clubs are also heading there.
There is a little more information on the Great Shelford website (www.greatshelford.info/home/tour-de-fran...road-closure-details) and the route I had thought of is: connect.garmin.com/modern/course/7107661 I think this also means that those who would prefer to drive might be able to get fairly close as well.
A leisurely ride back to St Neots with a Tea Room or Pub Lunch for those who would like it sounds an ideal finish to the day.
Any other takers (or suggestions)?
Andy this sounds like a plan. what time at the mk square
Its really is complicated
