I don't think I'll get the chance to see TDF for a while so hope to take this in.
A while away I know....

Cheers.

Clubrun to Box Hill that day, along with every other clubrun in the vicinity.

[Alex P]

Sorry, just posted mine and then saw yours......

[EdO]

Alex, I like what you did with the route so I copied it

An opportunity for George to get those ACC banners flying on box hill on the day. A global audience of millions....nice!!!

[Andrew G]

Good to see they're paying a visit to the giant cock .

I'm sure that we could organise it so that we marshall a section of the course.. Mr PT will have the right contacts.

A long time away but might need the time to get through all security checks.....

Looks like it goes right past my parents

Looks like it will be a good day out!

I take it that a lot of the roads will get some nice resurfacing too!

The news mentioned that there would be a sort of practice event to test the route in August this year. Any ideas?
Seems a bit early for the Tour of Britain......

I don't know exact specifics but there is an artist's impression of the route on here so you may be able to work it out:

Don't know about Elliot but that's the one I used to have an guess that it's going along the Hampton Court Way after Esher.

Here's an exact map of the route:
