2012 Olympic Road Race

good luck 'dan sounds like a mission, i reckon putney bridge will be heaving.. best to watch from richmond park outwards if you want to catch the race at more than one spot.. and plan a ride which avoids the course... security on the route will be tight #shoottokill

Fair point, it might be harder to do this than at the ToB. just as well there are plenty of miles of road to find a spot but I'm still open to being scuppered by security.

Watching road cycling at the roadside is a bit shit though isn't it?

That's why I'm doing a ride, rather than paying to sit on Box hill. Ideally I'll get 40-50 miles in and get to see the race fly by with a couple of picknick stops on less popular bits of the course.
