3 September 2022 - Road closures - not just for Ironman!
You will probably have received a map in your letterbox advising of the road closures for the Ironman on Sunday September 18th. BUT there is also a big "Tour of Britain" cycle race passing nearby next Saturday (10th). If, like me, you saw those yellow road closure signs and assumed it related to Ironman you might have missed this.
The race is going to pass through late on Saturday morning (11-ish to 12-ish) and rolling road closures will be enforced along most of the stage route. This means roads on-and-around the race route will be closed to traffic by Police Escort Vehicles for a brief period (usually around 30 minutes) to allow the race to pass safely. Affected roads include Littlemoor Road, Preston Road, Coombe Valley Road and all through Came to Dorchester.
Maisie is relieved to hear that her Puppy Training class at Kingston Maurwood will still be held!
