Olympic 2012 Road Race

[lb81]

Just been perusing the pdf of the Road Race route for the Olympics due to take place on the 28th July, I'm feeling a ride to Box Hill which seems the prime place to spectate!! Anyone else planning on riding there to watch?

Not riding there to watch but the route passes the campsite i am staying at while volunteering at the games this summer, and i am not working on the 28th

Think you'll have a fair bit of company there

Forgot to mention for anyone thinking of going, I read that there are apparently 15000 tickets for Box Hill itself which they were thinking of charging for, though a quick search has revealed no further info, but comparing the map with google earth there looks to be a fair few other places which would prove to be good vantage points. I wonder how many 1000's of other people have had the same idea as me

Gonna try and get in Richmond Park, fingers crossed, may contact them nearer the time for info

Mind the road closures, you'll probably get removed from the road course at least two hours before the race, so that the removal crews can get rid of all the parked cars....
