Tour of Britain Stage 6 Support Races.
This years final stage of the Tour
of Britain, on September 3, 2006, will once again be finishing in London, but this year
there is a difference. The stage will be starting in Greenwich and will then make its way
to St James's Park where it will complete 20 laps of a brand new circuit based on The
Mall.
Here's your chance to race on the
very same finishing circuit that the Tour of Britain riders will be racing on.
Thanks to the generosity of
Transport for London, Bob Chicken, The Royal Parks, Sport England and the Mayor of London,
the Surrey League have been asked to run 4 support races before the Tour of Britain
arrives in St James's Park.
