Can you guess why I am very very happy this evening?

[EndoplasmicReticulum]

Hmm?

Clue - 2019!

[StrictlyPan]

E bah gum!

[EndoplasmicReticulum]

[prettybird]

Well deserved.

[CMOTDibbler]

Its fabulous news!

[acornsandnuts]

Fabulous news.

[StrictlyPan]

anyone just seem Degenkolb squirting water at a Belgian rider. Pissed off that he wasn't contributing. Like, doing his job for his team.

[StrictlyPan]

And shouting at him afterwards. In a threatening manner. Surely disqualification.

[MrSlant]

He's disqualified himself now, I thought at first it was a bit of banter but he'd utterly lost the plot. Feeling for him and Kittel now, they look so exhausted and upset.

And yes Endo, I share your deep joy! Need to find out where all the different events are and get to buttering up all my relatives .

[EndoplasmicReticulum]

Well that was exciting. Nobody at all watching though. Won't be like that in 3 years, and one of the crowd will be me!

Local paper reckons the road race in 2019 is going to finish up West Park Stray like for the TdF, when Kittel won.

[MrSlant]

The routes will be lined 10 deep!

My head is already trying to work out at what stage of education the boys will be and how I'll get them out of school. One will be, hopefully, at uni so that's no problem. TdY itself actually went past my parents house, so it would be nice if they could do that again for me .

[EndoplasmicReticulum]

My boys will still be in school, although they may give them the day off as I can't see how anyone will get there if it's anything like the TdF where the roads were shut all day. We were able to walk to watch the TdF on both days it was here, that would be useful to do again - and yes the TdY has been past my mum and dad twice, they live on the coast, so we have options.

TdY route has been announced for next year

It's coming through my village! Yay!
(hoping there are enough villages in Yorkshire that it's going through not to out myself completely)
