The obvious major down sides are the road closures that will affect the whole area around Dorking this weekend, already there are no stopping zones in place and the A25 & A24 will both be closed from around 4am Saturday and Sunday morning until early evening!! A zed meet was rearranged too! Mrs glrnet went shopping today instead of Saturday and it was heaving So all in all a bloody great inconvenience all round, however my opinion has somewhat mellowed after my experience today.
I was on my way back from a job in West London (which was more of a nightmare to get to than usual because of the additional traffic caused by the Olympic traffic lanes ) when I came upon a group of cyclists on the A24 approaching Dorking (we now have a road racing cycling monument on one of our roundabouts that allegedly cost £25k but I digress) upon closer inspection it became obvious that the lycra enclosed buttocks were of the female variety I am now a great fan of womens cycle road racing and can personally vouch for the Cuban and Dutch teams in particular
Awaits flaming from Vik54 and others
And no I don't have any photos
