Cyclists wanting to visit the Tour this Sunday will be given free transport from Essex to Kent. The Highways Agency Dartford Crossing team is providing a 50 seater coach, with trailer, running across the Dartford crossing every 30 ? 40 minutes from 07.00hrs until 11.00hrs.

The pick up point for the coach is the Essex point marshalling area, reached via the cycle path from junction 31 of the M25. Drop off is the Kent point marshalling area from where Kent?s cycle paths are accessible.

He first fell in love with cycling in 1989 when watching the Tour de France on Channel 4, started racing in 1995 and in 2000 he spent one season racing in Belgium. During his time at CW (and Cycle Sport magazine) he has written product reviews, fitness features, pro interviews, race coverage and news. He has covered the Tour de France more times than he can remember along with the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games and many other international and UK domestic races. He became the 134-year-old magazine's 13th editor in 2015 and can still be seen riding bikes around the lanes of Surrey, Sussex and Kent. Albeit a bit slower than before.
