The London-Surrey Cycle Classic – a preparation event for the 2012 Olympics – will bring the best athletes from around the world to the challenging terrain of Surrey.
The race is taking place on Sunday 14 August and will start – as will next year’s Olympic race – at The Mall in Central London and the riders will race through South West London and through the Surrey Hills around Guildford and Dorking before returning to London and the finish on The Mall.
26 teams of 5 riders including the world’s top cyclists will contest this event as part of their Olympic preparations – and the racing is free for spectators to enjoy around the course.
For the riders’ safety there will be road closures and parking restrictions along the route, so the best way to travel to see the action is by taking a Southern train.
The race will be passing by Box Hill & Westhumble and Leatherhead stations on both the outward and return legs.
To see the circuit section at Box Hill, Southern train services to and from Dorking will be making half hourly stops at Boxhill and Westhumble station on the day.
