We’re showing some key stages of the most celebrated bike race in the world, right on our sunshine [โ๏ธ๐ค ] terrace here at Station South!
See below for the timetable of our screened stages. We are adding layers of cycling joy by hosting themed Club rides to celebrate some of the stages as they unravel before collapsing back to base in time to watch the racing!

6TH July | Club Road Rideย
Domestiques’ day off – the tour stage today is a hilly long one which finishes at the coast, but we fancied a shorter-ish flatter one, so we’ll head out through the Cheshire Lanes to the lakes of Tatton Park to at least pass through some water en route back to Station South to catch the end of the stage on the TV! The pace will be Latte, 22-24kph on the flat, there aren’t really too many notable climbs but we’ll regroup at the top of anything if anyone does drop off.
Meet: Please arrive for the briefing at 11:30, we’ll aim to be riding by 11:45.
Estimated moving time : Around 3.5-4 hours, taking into account any quick stops and mechanicals, so we should be back at Station South for around 15:15 all being well, in time for the final 3 climbs of the tour stage, which is expected to finish between 16:20 – 16:50.
