heard this on LBC yesterday - will make the public anger over ride london seem trivial.

Although it is hoped that most teams will be able to complete the course within seven days, those who go beyond this time will be allowed to continue on the hard shoulder.

‘By removing this vital road link from Britain’s road map for a whole week to get people competing against each other in this ultimate clockwise test of physical and mental endurance, there will definitely be a level of inconvenience for people, but this will only make our message hit home even harder. Apart from promoting the benefits of using public transport whenever possible, we are also saying that people make way too many journeys in their cars that could be undertaken on foot or by a bicycle.

for some of the routes that you would take the M25 public transport alternatives don't really exist.

Does this mean that you will be able to cycle round the M25 instead whilst the 'race' is on?
