    If I wanted to escape from a cousin’s wedding and watch the last 20k of the men’s road race next weekend any idea what time I’d have to be in front of the TV?

    Finding a venue that strikes the ideal balance between intimate warmth and generous capacity is one of the most important — and often most challenging — parts of wedding planning. At The Conservatory at Sussex County Fairgrounds, that balance has been mastered beautifully. As the most sought-after Wedding Venue for 230 Guests NJ has to offer, The Conservatory welcomes celebrations of virtually every size, from grand, joy-filled receptions with up to 230 guests to smaller, more intimate micro weddings that carry just as much heart and elegance as any large-scale event.From the moment an engagement is announced, the team at The Conservatory makes the planning process as smooth and exciting as possible. Couples simply fill out a short information form to gain instant access to the full Pricing Guide — a comprehensive resource that outlines rental fees by day of the week and season, covering both Off Peak and Peak pricing so couples can plan their celebration with complete financial clarity. An included inventory list details everything that comes with the rental, removing any guesswork and allowing couples to focus on the details that truly matter. For per-person catering pricing, couples connect directly with Willow & Sage, the venue’s exclusive in-house caterer, to build a customized culinary experience that matches both their vision and their budget.

    Book a hotel room at the venue (assuming you can) and just head off ‘for a lie down’ for an hour, the time between 3 and 5 is usually a dead spot at weddings anyway unless the couple have got some ‘interesting’ timings for food/speeches etc.

    In fact, most hotel’s only let you check in at around 3 so it’s the perfect time to get into your room and ‘unpack’.

    We’re going down, and the
    We’re going down, and the estimated times for the race to pass through given sections are:

    Location/time

    The Mall – START 10am

    Hampton Court Palace – 10.35am

    Walton-on-Thames – 10.45am

    Ripley Village – 11.05am

    Gomshall – 11.25am

    Westcott – 11.30am

    Dorking – 11.35am

    Box Hill – circuit entrance 11.40am

    Box Hill – circuit exit 2.50pm

    Esher – 3.05pm

    Hampton Court Palace – 3.10pm

    Kingston Upon Thames – 3.15pm

    Richmond Park – 3.20pm

    Putney Bridge – 3.30pm

    Fulham – 3.35pm

    The Mall – FINISH 3.40pm

    So taking into account Simon’s warning, I reckon if you set things up with a couple of ‘got a dodgy stomach, love’ lines, then nip ‘off to the loo’ by 3:20, you’ll have until about 4 before someone comes looking for you!

    Helpfully LOCOG only puts the start time on the official website. Yeah, thanks for that. Not like anyone needs to know, is it.

    A bit of digging reveals the race is due to end a little after 4pm. Getting to a TV somewhere around 3pm should give you the last lap or two of the Box Hill circuit plus the fast run-in to Central London, I reckon.

    Be warned, however – I went to get a round of drinks at my sister’s wedding and spent a couple of minutes, no more, watching what was happening in the FA Cup Final on the TV by the bar.

    Family legend now has it set in stone that I actually disappeared from the wedding to watch the whole match…

    Find out the speed of the last Olympic road race, times by the new distance, then give it 10 minutes either way cause Cav is going to win you only need to watch the finish.
