Tour de France anyone? LoopZilla (talk) 22:36, 6 June 2014 (BST)
- Thanks for pointing this out LZ. Not sure what bearing it has on this event, except perhaps for any trainers who would possibly volunteer for this workshop and won't because they're keenly following this major sports event instead. On the day of the workshop: "The route will start in Cambridge city centre at around midday, going through Great Shelford in Cambridgeshire before heading into Essex." Hardly an issue, I'd say. Or am I missing something? Cheers! --Toni Sant (WMUK) (talk) 10:22, 7 June 2014 (BST)
- I've had a closer look at this and I've now discovered that: "The race will start in Cambridge, travelling through Essex before arriving in Greater London via Epping Forest. It will then pass through Hackney via Ruckholt Road, Eastway and Waterden Road, continuing through Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park before finishing on The Mall." And: "Tube and rail stations along the route will be extremely busy, particularly during the evening peak. Buses in the area will be on diversion or will stop short of their destinations from 09:00 – 18:00." This is useful information as it may impact some of the people leaving Kensington after the event. --Toni Sant (WMUK) (talk) 11:23, 11 June 2014 (BST)
