Tour of Britain 2015 – Views from Stages 1 and 2

Hello!  This time of year is always busy! There is so much going on as the cycling season reaches its close (as much as any sport closes these days!). La Vuelta continues in Spain but here in the UK, we have the Tour of Britain. Only eight stages but always a treat and this year is no exception, starting in Wales, on into Lancashire, Northumbria, the Peak District and all points in between! The racing is exciting with the chance to see new stars in the making, as well as familiar favourites.  UK fans have really embraced cycling and give the riders such a welcome. It’s great to see the sport in such good heart here at home. It is, as we say, all good stuff!.  Here are my drawings:
