Prince William and Kate are in Harrogate for the Tour de France Saturday. Then this afternoon a customer informed me that David Beckham and his family are also attending. Wow what a weekend ahead for Harrogate, Knaresborough and Yorkshire - such a fantastic area to live and work
Looking forward to it, not working as cars are pretty much banned.
Should be great showcase for Harrogate - crowds expected to be in the hundreds of thousands
The best sport show on Earth - bring it on
Well not really my cup of tea but it's going to be so huge I'm not missing it.
I will take plenty of pics on the weekend

A shame Wiggo's not in it
True !
UK Ltd Marketing cock it up again.
Beckham in local shop asking for directions to local park. He has hired out a large country pub for the event.
Rumored Kate and Will booked top floor of Betty's !
Getting really busy in the town and police have warned us of traffic snarl ups with the frogs bringing the Tour de France equipment etc.
Yep....road closure signs all over the place.
I hope you manage to do well out of it Les.
Have you rented your house out yet ?
I'm losing money Graham as I'm off to it and not working (can't drive in town centre anyway)
Tales of lots of people renting house out - one guy rented his small house out for 3 days for £12,000
Ah, ok. I wasn't sure which way it would go for you...businesswise.
Yes, I'd thought of renting mine out.
12 grand would certainly cover any cleaning and minor damages.
Traffic nite mare already while they continue setting up!
I might toodle off down on my pushbike and take a look...or should I just close the curtains on Sunday (?) and hide in the house ?
I'm getting into it!
Well getting into the beer tent on Saturday!
Haha....you do right. Enjoy.
Tales of lots of people renting house out - one guy rented his small house out for 3 days for £12,000... daylight
robbery!
... CLEARLY some of the "revellers" have a lot more money
than sense!
Guess which country the people with more money than sense come from?
Well, they're not Scots that's for sure!
Yanks
Anyway it's mental in Harrogate today - the day before the race - Choppers in the sky, zillions of people. I counted about 8 bars on the main finish line grassy area.
Dead excited!
Come on Wiggo
Come on Wiggo
... "Hoi!
... keep your 'hair' on"!
Wiggo not in it
Watch out there Graham, you may get taken along with the pack and end up in FranceI might toodle off down on my pushbike and take a look...or should I just close the curtains on Sunday (?) and hide in the house ?
Graham's chopper gives the game away!
Now now Les, thats rude

Anyway, I can always use my runabout.

Well, it was a struggle, but I managed to keep up with the pack, even though I was only supposed to be spectating.
