Tour Ride - Stoke on Trent

Just a quick post to see if anyone is riding the Stoke on Trent Challenge Tour Ride as their first sportive - I am.
Weather forecast not looking great but I will not be deterred!

Tour of Britain Stage 8: Cavendish sprints to victory as Tiernan-Locke takes overall

Tiernan-Locke delivers first British ToB victory in 19 years as Cav marks final race before world champs with a win

Tour of Britain Stage 6: Net App's Leopold Koenig takes wins as Tiernan Locke moves in to overall lead

Second place good enough to give EnduraRacing rider 13 sec overall lead

Tour of Britain, Caephilly finish, good place to watch?

I'm thinking about riding from home (Bristol) to watch the Tour of Britain stage finishing in Caephilly. Is there a decent climb near the finish that would make a decent spectator spot?

Or should I get the train to Cardiff and ride up to the top of the Brecons for the cat 1 climb?

Cheers!

Tour of Britain- time for Rapha to be taken down a peg?

With the announcements of the big teams including guys like Thor, Voight, Klemme, Boom, Bos, Millar etc. what chance do the British teams have of even a stage win this year? I'd love to see Rapha finding out some hard lessons (no reason- I'm sure they're lovely) But what about Endura? It would be great to see them do well no? Are the local boys anywhere near challenging for this level of race? Thoughts welcome.
