    No, not predictions :)
    Who is heading down to watch some of it on the day?
    I'm posting early because it will involve taking a day off work.

    It's on August 27th, which is a Wednesday.

    I'll be in Spain, so you'll have to take a few photos.

    Taking the day off myself, legging it up to Roundwood to catch them there, then belt down the road to see the finish in Waterford. At least thats the plan, I have been asked to Marshall at the finish in Waterford, so if I get roped into that the plan is out the window !

    I'm in work but as the route appears to pass the end of the road here (National Mint) reckon I will dodge out for a gawk at the start. May well see the finish in Cork on the Sunday.

    I like the way they list all the post offices on the route.
