Just seen the great news that the local economy is going to be boosted again by Devon hosting the 5th stage of the Tour of Britain cycle race. Our stage is on Thursday 11th Septmber and comes through Starcross and Mamhead again. Just a thought, but it would be fantastic if the Route 2 cycle path was completed before the big day.
For the record, the visit of the Tour of Britain 2013 saw 250,000 spectators in attendance, and £5.9million additional spending in the county.
