Fantastic news. The men’s and women’s road cycle race for the 2012 olympics will be going through Bushy Park and Richmond Park.

Here is a pdf map of the route

One of the few free events (that we might even win a medal in) is going past my front door! My cheque book will stay in the back pocket and all the family will be heading to one of the parks for a picnic and a cheer.

Even better news…it follows parts of the BPTT and RPTT parkrun events routes for AT LEAST 1KM in each case. Familiar teritory indeed.
