On Friday I read Brightside, Wandsworth Council's comic. It's full of useful information from our excellent Council.
At the front it described the route which the cyclists in the road race will be taking during the Olympics. You've guessed it - they're coming through Putney! And there will be two days of it!
Starting at the Mall, they go through Fulham & Chelsea. There are three roads to choose from, all equally busy. Then we get to it. They will ride over Putney Bridge and up Putney High Street (don't laugh). Then they will turn right in the Upper Richmond Road and ride to Priory Lane. Then they go into the Park at Roehampton Gate, through the Park, down through Surrey through Dorking (presumably leaving it at Kingston Gate although that's not specified in which case they'll have to go over or arround Kingston Hill) to Box Hill. They go round Box Hill four times and then back to the Mall along the same route.
I'm sure it will be a hugely exciting race but of course it will be impossible to get anywhere from Putney unless you have a tardis. I imagine the parasites and Transport for London will take the opportunity to close the entire bus network down for a whole week but that's their problem as I shall stay at home and watch it on TV.
