Gary D. Nelmes Tour of Buckinghamshire: itinery

Day 1
· We will meet at 10 am.
· You will then load your overnight bags and day packs onto the broom wagon, pick up your ‘race’ numbers and listen to a route and safety briefing from one of the team leaders.
· The time trial of the team leaders (and anyone else who would like a go!) will then commence. This will be three circuits (of just over half a mile).

· We will then begin Day 1 of cycling. We will generally be cycling in one peleton (group) but there is likely to be one optional sprint, and one optional hill stage.
· Lunch will be a brief stop, where you will be given your musettes (feed bags) which you will be able to carry with you. If you think you will want anything extra to eat, please bring it in your day packs.
· We will aim to be at the hotel at about 4 pm. You’ll then have time to settle in and relax in the spa.
· Pre-dinner drinks will be at 7pm and dinner at 8pm in the Octagon room. Dinner will be a black-tie (or close approximation thereof) affair.
· After dinner there will be a showing of ‘A Sunday in Hell’ in the drawing room.

Day 2
· Breakfast will be available from 8am.
· We will start Day 2 of cycling around 11 am.
· There will be one sprint – to a pub where we will stop for lunch.
· We will finish in Simpson – and here we will have a champagne reception and prize-giving.
