I am trying to point out that many people are inconvenienced by this event, and was hoping that I could in some small way hope that many of you can see the other side of the argument.For you to suggest I write to Boris, what good will that do? He is Mayor of London and does not give a flying about us!!

Depending on my shift I may not be able to get to work without a 20 mile detour, or if I am on the night shift as I catch the train then I may not be able to get home to go to bed as I have to work the Sunday night. Before anyone suggests I take holiday why should I for an event that holds no interest for me.As stated in my other post my mother in laws carers were unable to get to her, that was admittedly more than likely a ‘Tin Hitler’ ,sorry steward problem than the event itself.
I can see no need for the roads to be closed for 14 hours, the event did not start in London until approx 9:30 the first participants will not be in my area until about 11.
I have noticed in the petitions that those most vociferous in their support for the event are those who do not live in the area.
I have already stated I was massively in favour of the event for Olympics, however at no point was it mentioned that this would be every year.
An objective of thge annual event is including other communities. Ok how about Ride London-Kent, followed by Ride London-Essex, Ride London-Hertfordshire and so on until you get round to Surrey again. Every 5 years or so seems fair and everyone in the Home Counties gets a share.

bikeboyIt may well be a year to the next event. We shall probably not be advised of road closure times until about 2 to 3 weeks beforehand. If this year is anything to go by.
Would love to know whether
Would love to know whether the residents from Byfleet live on the station side of the route. It does make a massive difference. Carers can get to patients there.
