Do you want to watch the London-Surrey Cycle Classic from the best spot on the route?

Spectators will be able to watch the action along the majority of the route, but 3,400 people will be given wristbands to watch the race along the 1.8km stretch on Zig Zag Road in Box Hill. Here, spectators will get the chance to see the 148 elite cyclists pass twice, as they lap Box Hill before heading up towards central London to the finish line.

The area is being restricted to protect its precious environment, which is a Site of Special Scientific Interest.

The race is taking place on Sunday 14 August 2011 and will act as a test event for the 2012 Olympics men’s and women’s road races.

The wristbands are available to local residents, youth groups and keen cycling enthusiasts and will be allocated using a number of methods.

If you want to be there, find out how to apply for tickets at www.gosurrey.info/cycling.

I would argue that the CTC do more for grass roots cycling then BC. Certainly their campaigning has been more successful.

Back on topic, do we as a cycling club not count as cycling enthusiasts for an allocation of the coveted wristbands?

More loop holes than bloody pot holes.

Click here, click there, click everywhere. So if you're not a member of British Cycling your stuffed?

I sure the 'club' could apply, thus ensuring as they say 'keen cyclists' can get wristbands.

i would like to think so.

Good question - Does anyone know what part of Box Hill and environs are going to be restricted access?

[Dombo]

Looks like most of it. There's a small spectator area but the rest seems to be closed off, and there's only limited bike storage which is quite a way from the viewing spot. Here are the details:

As others have said, the organisers seem to be adopting a bit of a "f*** you" attitude to anyone with a keen interest in the sport as anywhere on Box Hill has to be the best place to watch.
