Car stranded -- Prudential RideLondon 2013

[swamp]

Our car has been stranded a couple of miles away from our house after the wife nipped out to buy some nappies. Without any warning the roads have all been shut for some cycle race, and the stewards wouldn't let us back to our house.

Anyone else caught out by this? I couldn't even see any cyclists. Apparently they started at 6am and they won't reopen the roads until 5:30pm.

Very angry.
