Announcement Imminent

Word has it that the announcement of this years route will be at the same time as the official TdF (Tour de France) stage announcements on the 25th October. (Next thursday, and one day before my wife's expected delivery date)!

I have heard through the grapevine that this years Epate is likely to be from Pau --> Hautacam, which means its in the Pyrenees again. The route is likely to include Tourmalet (a big mountain!!!), and obviously Hautacam which in itself is pretty terrifying! Will be interesting to see if the sources are correct!

Normally the Etape is run on a tour rest day, so looks like it might be the 13th July, although fortunately for me its not a Friday!

Will be a long wait until next week now, before the organisers seal my fate.
