2022 Women's Cycling Tour

Just to let people know that if you're expecting carers in at lunchtime on Saturday most companies know nothing about this race and haven't made contingency plans to get carers in, so they'll be running late all day.

It's a shame that they are not coming down Enstone rd and through the town centre.

I hope they are not going to be directed through Milton under Wychwood and have to contend with the appalling road surface through there. I cycled through there recently and it’s in a dreadful state, and is dangerous in places.

See also the events page for everything else that is happening on June 11th! It's possible that stallholders and those those attending the Farmer's Market and also the Stone Carving Studio and Young Writers Workshop might get caught out by the rolling road block.

Estimated times in Charlbury 12.03 - 12.08; rolling road closures for c. 30 minutes while the race passes through, closing roads in the direction of the cyclists' travel for about 15 minutes in advance of the race.

Perhaps the organisers of the various events could alert those signed up to attend -- and somebody also let the Farmer's Market People know!

Thanks, I've already decided I can't run the risk of getting stuck because of it.

The timings are here (PDF download), available from the link that Hannen supplied.

That clashes with open gardens in Burford. Any ideas if I'm helping out there about timings, especially as I have my standard possibility of needing to get back to Charlbury ASAP for medical emergencies?

The 2022 Women’s Tour, Britain’s biggest and longest-running international women’s cycling stage race, is coming to Oxfordshire on Saturday 11 June. The final stage of the Tour will start in Chipping Norton and run through Charlbury, Burford and Carterton before making its way to the finish in Oxford.

Should be fun!
