The Willesden Box Hill Prologue, 17th June

On Sunday 17th June, follow the route the stars will take on 28th July.
The Sunday club run will faithfully follow the Olympic Road Race Route, except that at our pace doing all 9 circuits of Box Hill will get dull, so we will only do one, and we will have a cake stop rather than take on board musettes.

Slipstreamers and members’ friends who’ll be comfortable with the distance and conditions very welcome.

The full ride, Mall to Mall is 128Kms, starting and finishing at Richmond Park 102Kms. Some of the ride is on main roads and by the time we get back to Central London it will be busy. We’ll aim for the average club run pace.
