Tour of Britain returning to Norfolk in 2012

For the third year running, a stage of the Tour of Britain cycle race is coming through Norfolk.
This year's race will be visiting some of the same places as last year, but not coming through my village - I'll have to head a few miles into Dereham to see it this time round.

The race provides a boost to the region's economy according to this EDP article. The comments beg to differ though...

I also picked up this article via Paul Haigh which is about a bid by Yorkshire to stage the Grand Depart for the Tour de France in 2016. That would be awesome. Apparently they are 'pudding' in a bid...
30th June to 22nd of July for this year's tour. Coming soon to a TV set near me...
