More rain forecast but 'keep calm and carry on' is order of day for UCI cycling in Harrogate
With the biggest influx of visitors expected in Harrogate for the two biggest race this weekend - the Women's Elite Race on Saturday and Men's on Sunday - the advice is simple - "wear appropriate clothing and footwear."
The good news is the forecasts for Friday through Sunday may be wet but it's probably going to be a case of showers rather than Tuesday’s biblical scenes!

The official line is "there is the potential for wet weather so please wear appropriate footwear.”
As to what constitutes appropriate footwear, the Harrogate Advertiser dug deeper and was told not your best shoes but wellies are probably unnecessary on the Fan Zone at the Stray where the likes of Jarvis Cocker, the Pigeon Detectives and The Feeling are to appear because there is "plenty of trackway."*
