Tour of Britain Men visits Lincolnshire on 2nd and 3rd September 2026. See the Lincoln, Wolds, Boston and Skegness route highlights<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two stages of the Lloyds Tour of Britain Men put Lincolnshire’s cities, market towns, coast and Wolds on the national cycling map in September 2026. The Lloyds Tour of Britain Men arrives in Lincolnshire for two consecutive stages on Wednesday 2nd and Thursday 3rd September 2026. It is an unusual opportunity to see an international peloton racing through familiar streets and landscapes, from Lincoln’s historic centre to the Wolds and the east coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stage one starts and finishes in Lincoln. The route heads north through Market Rasen and Caistor before turning back through the Lincolnshire Wolds for a demanding return to the city. Stage two begins in Boston and finishes in Skegness, linking the Fens, aviation country, market towns and coastal communities along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lincoln provides a suitably dramatic opening to the race. Riders leave the city before travelling towards Market Rasen and Caistor, where spectators can combine the racing with the atmosphere of a market-town stop. The route then takes in the rolling roads of the Wolds before returning to Lincoln for the finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The city-centre section is likely to attract the biggest crowd, while villages and open-road viewpoints will offer a different experience. Wherever you choose, arrive early, use designated parking and follow temporary traffic instructions. Exact road closure and race timing information should always be checked on the organiser’s live event pages before travelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The following day, stage two begins in Boston and heads towards Skegness. The published route takes in Coningsby, Woodhall Spa, Horncastle, Wragby, Louth, Mablethorpe and Sutton on Sea, creating viewing opportunities across a large part of the county.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Boston start and Skegness finish should provide the fullest event atmosphere. For a more local feel, a town or village on the route can be just as memorable: professional cycling passes quickly, but the build-up, support vehicles and anticipation make the occasion. Keep the raceway clear and supervise children and dogs closely as the peloton approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Choose one viewing point rather than trying to follow the race by car. Check the final timetable, local parking arrangements and road restrictions, then allow extra time. A compact chair, waterproof layer and portable charger are sensible additions, even if the forecast looks settled.The race is also a showcase for Lincolnshire. Television pictures will carry the cathedral, Wolds, market towns and coast far beyond the county, while spectators have the chance to give the riders a characteristically warm welcome. For cycling fans and curious first-time viewers alike, these two stages promise one of September’s standout sporting occasions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
