Olympic road race

[MJ_1993]

I know, but it would make it interesting, how steep can a climb be on the m25?
Someone find a cross section please, there might be a few false flats, but I still cant see it being very interesting. Imagine how its going to look on cycling manager, 4 lanes and a bunch of cyclists with rubbish commentating, and simply long and flat.

It doesnt change the fact it is boring, I want to see the faces of pain.

Next you'll be saying there'll be an Addiscombe team selected

I did race on the M25 in 1985, or at least a section of it - the drop off from the top of Reigate Hill to the Leatherhead Junction - all the Thursday evening handicaps were held there.

We weren't allowed to drive on the carriageway, except for the hard shoulder and park at the junction. The contractors took down a section of the central reservation barrier at each end of the then unopened motorway as it didn't connect to anywhere. and tarmacced it over so could use both sides.

The Handicap World Championships were held there as well and I got 3rd place, just behind Tom McCall.

Has anyone actually taken a short-cut on the M25 (or any other motorway) by bike at any point? I'm sure if you find yourself in the vicinity of Junction 8 the fastest way back to Croydon is along the motorway to the A23 at Junction 7. Never done it - but have been tempted. It's such a long, inviting downhill drag....

didn't the kenyan cycling team accidentally go training down a motorway during the commonwealth games once?

I know of 1 rider who ended up on the A1(M) after failing to take the exit for the turn on one of the F1 courses. It wasn't PVT of course who has a finely honed strategy to make sure that he doesn't make that mistake
