Tour of Britain Stage 1 Tuesday in Woodbridge, Wickham Market and Fram.

The reluctance of the Tour of Britain to say when it's happening makes us think there may be some honest Suffolk folk involved worried that too many people might turn up ... possibly from that there Norfolk.  Either the way the first stage is TODAY Woodbridge to Southwold via Framlingham.
