IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR TDCIR
Posted: Fri Aug 04, 2023 10:48 am
I'm fortunate that one of my brothers lives in Wilmslow, just a few miles from the event venue, so I'm staying with them the night before. My sister-in-law has just sent me this in an e-mail:
Forewarned is fore armed!We are looking forward to you joining us over the weekend of 2nd-4th September and I know you are planning to attend Car Rally in nearby Woodford on Sunday 3rd.
I recently spotted in some local news that Stage 1 of the Tour of Britain race which takes place on that day starts in Altrincham and goes through Wilmslow, Woodford and then on into Manchester, though at present there are no timings.
Below is a link to the full tour and a screenshot of the route and Woodford Garden Centre (which is where I think you are meeting) is on the route, opposite the Avro Heritage Museum.
The race has been held round here before and I recall they run a rolling roadblock for a period of time, but there could obviously be congestion in the area of the route.
I will keep an eye open for any further info over the coming weeks and forward it on to you.
