Olympic Cycle Test Event

Date: Sunday August 14th 2011

The test event, or the London-Surrey Cycle Classic, took place on Sunday August 14th 2011.

It was a huge event, designed to see how well the roads, emergency crews and Olympic organisers cope with staging a real race on the route.

Below you can find a selection of photographs from the event as well as plenty of information about the route, which is the same as the one which will be used for the Olympic events.
