In a month’s time we will all be watching the Tour De France and more to the point taking part in the Waldy Tour De France challenge.
However, this year in France there will be no prologue. Boooooo! Traditionally the prologue is a TT under 8km. So this month we move the traditional Waldy TT to a prologue format starting in Cobham and ending by The Bear in Oxshott.
The course is here;
The start is on the A245 out of the back of Cobham High Street just after the junction of Leigh Hill Road which we often use to come home from the Surrey Hills. We head down the A245 taking a left just after Squires still on the A245. Sharp left turning back onto yourself at Oaklawn Road BEWARE this corner has some bad potholes as you come round. Head up here to Oxshott next hazard is a straight through roundabout everyone is heading out the same exit and you can take a wide berth around the outside, although to be clear you should be giving way to traffic coming from the right of course!
