Olympic road race - decent map?

[john2443]

Apart from this where you have to try and work out which roads are used, does any know of a decent map of the route where you can see exactly which roads are used?

Thanks

Or a gpx file would be useful!

Go here http://www.gosurrey.info/olympic-road-cycling/olym...
anbd click on the interactive map, then click on 2012 olympics on the right hand side, give it a minute and it has the route overlaid onto an OS map.

I'm coming from the South West on the morning so will probably stop around Guildford and then cycle the rest of the way to a nice spot...

If you're coming up for the weekend, you might want to take a look at the Surrey Hills Road Race Festival

It's on the route (just at the bottom of Box Hill), free, has large screens showing the entire races, and also looks to have the Surrey Food & Drink festival on there at the same time.

It's also a 7 mile ride from home for me, so I'm definitely pootling along!

Annoyingly, however, I forgot to go onto the ticketing website yesterday, and have just discovered that all the tickets for the men's race have been sold.

I'll therefore definitely be at the festival rather than up on Box Hill. Still, they do come along that stretch of the A24 numerous times as well.

Finally managed to get tickets for something at last! 4 tickets to the top of the Box Hill area which apparently has 3 different views of the course and huge screen and other stuff so looking forward to this!

I was just going to scope out somewhere round the back of the hill to mark out a bit of territory and watch it go by...

Unless of course they have plans to prevent that. Anybody know?

Bump, as it's getting close....

I'll be going to Richmond Park to watch.
Suspect a very early start!

Won't they only pass Denbies once?

I think so, yes, but it's only 500 yards or so from there to the bottom of the Zig zag, so not too much of a hardship to see them doing the laps.
