Tour of Britain at th Cat and Fiddle.

Phil th Barrow · 11th September 2021, 09:29

Thursday we went to th top of th Bottom oven as they call it on stage 5 of th Tour of Britain.. Those who know it, its just after th tea room near th Cat and Fiddle. Great turn out and no rain. Mark Cavindish (From Laxey IOM) was down for th sprint finish at Warrington but a crash on th last bend put him in a bad position to sprint...

Anywho... I spotted this whilst trying to park... Is it one of club members??

Know the cafe well - great spot to watch the climb sprint. If the R75 had black goo around the rear window trim (you might have noticed) I see it regularly at our local 'super' M&S store in Wilmslow (the Tour would have gone almsot right past it en route Warrington). Owned by an elderly gent but not a Club member.

Hi John,

Well spotted. ;-)

I didnt see th black gooo around th rear window (maybe he'll use Captain trolliy's creeping crack cure next time) I wonder if he'd over sprayed th crome side strips it would helped?? As you say a great spot to view on a good day. Thanks again for info.
