Barnes and East Sheen residents won’t have to travel to east London to witness all the Olympic sporting action come 2012. For one event it looks like we’ll just have to roll out of bed. As recently revealed by Cycling Weekly, it is understood that the 2012 Olympic Games cycling road race circuit has been re-designed and will now cross briefly over the edge of Barnes, along Upper Richmond Rd, on its way towards Richmond Park and beyond.
Olympic fever is bound to spread in our green corner of London as the games draw closer. Barnes also has two pre-games training camp sites on offer to foreign athletes ahead of the Olympics: Barnes Hockey Club (Lonsdale Rd) for hockey and Barn Elms for archery. I’m feeling a bit feverish already.

This is awsome.
