    Got a place for this year's cycle, in 2 minds if I will do it, mainly due to the cost.
    Anyone else doing it?

    Did it in 2017, the good parts, very well organised, great encouragement from the locals, especially Kingston in to the finish, nice cycling through London and finishing on the Mall, pretty spectacular finish. The bad parts, kinda boring outside the above, the climbs aren't anything special and you've to keep alert with 24000 others on the road.
    Would I do it again, probably not, I'd spend the money on the Etape or something else in France or here instead.

    With London, its the cost of staying there that bites most, in my opinion.....:eek:
    Never done RL, but a mate did; and has a similar opinion to@2wheelsgood

    I did it last year and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience, despite the weather being ****. I have a place for this year and would be going back only it clashes with my brothers wedding, so I am deferring the place till next year.
