Six days to go to Sunday’s London – Surrey Cycle Classic, the 2012 Olympic Games test road race on Sunday, August 14, and fears that Surrey County Council may not carry out the necessary repairs to the Box Hill circuit are proving false, at least as far as the first two kilometres are concerned! After years of neglect, the surface is at last getting a much needed makeover.
The broken surface around the drain cover at the start of the climb has been repaired and all pot holes as far as the second hairpin have been filled in and new long strips of new tarmac laid over the trouble spots to this point.
Pot holes and rough surfaces around the rest of the circuit are marked out in bright orange and await their fill of tarmac in the coming days.
A star-studded field of over 140 professionals include Britain's Tour de France hero Mark Cavendish and Belgian Classics star Tom Boonen.
