Beckworth’s Tour De France

Hello. Just an excited reminder that many roads will be closed tomorrow as we welcome the Worlds’ most famous french cycling race through the heart of our town. I am of course talking about Le Tour De France (The Tour Of France). It is bound to cause traffic mayhem and shop closures but will be worth it to see half a dozen or so of the best French cyclists come pootling through our streets followed by some motorbikes and Citroen cars with bikes on their roofs. So please bare in mind if you fancy going anywhere in Beckworth tomorrow you won’t be able to, except on foot, or preferably pedal bike. Yours Clifford Pinner. Tour De France Steering Committee Chairperson and Senior Route Advisor, Beckworth and Slocombe Division
