That's better, Dan! Yep, definitely goes along the Hampton Court Way - probably worth going to see my parents that day (unless we have managed to move them by then...).

Good to see it goes through Ripley and past the Angel on Giggs Hill Green. The Angel used to be where cyclists met in Victorian times on their penny farthings, bone shakers and the like to ride down the Portsmouth Road to Ripley. I wonder if they realised that when they designed the course?

Only if they've let the UCI examine it 50 time and put a magic sticker on it .

A very expensive magic sticker.
