What a shame that CTT didn't give a bit more notice of their campaign to get clubs running "lookalike" prologues to get public interest in the TdF prologue. A bit of advanced notice to allow some negotiation with the local police, council etc, to capitalise on quieter evening traffic and cyclists allowed into the pedestrianised city centre...
...how about:-
Start outside Betty's (they could do a special edition Yorkshire Skinny Rascal), out along Davygate/Parliament Street/Piccadilly, down Blue Bridge Lane and left onto the riverside cycleway, over the Millenium Bridge, Butcher Terrace and give it full gas down Bishy Road to a quick loop of left-handers in Bishopthorpe, then back in along Bishy Road, right down Butcher Terrace, into town along the riverside along Terry Avenue, left and left again at the Bonking Warehouse and over the river, left into Clifford Street and straight on into Coney Street, finish in front of the Mansion House!
