I'm in Conisbrough in South Yorkshire to cover today's Stage 2.
And as you can see, there's plenty of decoration along the route with residents really getting into the swing!
And check out the sky about Conisbrough's castle - don't forget the sunscreen if you're heading out to watch.
All timings are approximate, so get to your viewing point with plenty of time to spare.

Thousands are expected to turn out in the sunshine to cheer on the start of the women's race at 09:00, the men's race will begin later this afternoon at 14:20.
It's the first time the town will have hosted the Tour de Yorkshire as last year the peloton only passed through Penistone during Stage 3 of the race.
