Excellent news, although transporting 15,000 people to Boxhill will be an interesting logistical challenge, nevermind the thousands that will be at other places on the route.

It's less than 2 miles for me. I could walk it! Although plan to cycle over and get back to the house to watch the finish on the TV!

I live 3 miles away and went for the practice run, I rode over. They had a huge amount of cycle storage so that should be the easiest way over. My mate lives on the road after the Zig Zag, hoping he has a BBQ. And invites me....

For the practice race all the local bridleways and footpaths were closed.
No doubt you will able to park in a designated carpark for a huge fee.
I get the feeling if they could charge you to stand at the side of the road and make it as difficult as possible they would.
