Title: London Surrey Cycle Classic (14th August)
Post by: Tim on 21 July, 2011, 10:36:02 am

It's the recce race for the games next year.

Is anyone going to go and watch (in which case you may want to keep in mind that there are restrictions on zig-zag road)?

Equally does anyone know which riders have signed up to ride this (beyond details of teams invited)?

The signs warning about road closures have gone up, and I'm wondering whether there is a good enough pub with a garden overlooking the course.

I'm sure I've heard that Cav is riding this. I doubt he'll be riding it to win it though.

This may be a good opportunity to test out any off-roading plans that you might have for reaching a good vantage point via MTB rather than via tarmac...

When the PruTour race went up Box Hill, I watched it's all-too-brief passage at what is now the Smith & Western pub on Boxhill Road.
