Box Hill, Olympic Road Race
Discussion
Was watching Country File last night which featured Chris Boardman and one of the presenters at Box Hill. Was thinking about spectating next year at this venue. Does anybody know whether it's a ticket only part of the road race or can anybody turn up (very early, I guess....they were talking about 50k spectators at Box Hill alone!).
They were talking about having fenced off areas for spectators. Problem with that is if you happen to be a couple of rows back, all you'll see is helmets. I must admit that I thought that it would be something like the Cols (not physically!) during the TdF until he mentioned the numbers expected and the length (or not) of it.
On the subject of how long they'll take to climb it, I remember watching the TdF when it came over in the mid 90s on Harting Hill thinking that would slow them up. Not a chance, they went up it faster than I could go down it.
If Box Hill is out, anybody know of another good place to watch?
