    Putney Bridge is now way better, with a new lane down the middle that's probably 3 times the width of the old one on the pavement, and plenty of space to overtake dawdlers.
    I reckon it'll still be a nightmare tomorrow though, planning to take an alternate route if I remember...
    It'll be interesting to see if they've opened the middle section simply in anticipation of the match, or if it's part of the ongoing plan. It's actually just wide enough now to ride it with decent clearance for oncoming, though I haven't seen anyone do it yet.
    Had to replace a cleat on Sunday, they're wearing through pretty fast! (Look Keo)


    You're surely not going to give up on reclaiming your KOM, are you? ;) :P Get back to hugging the river!

    I reckon it's part of the plan; hoardings coming down on the East side, and pavement still being laid on the West side. Looks like all they need to do in the roadway is lay the final layers of tarmac, which I'm guessing would only take a couple of days. I reckon they'll keep it as-is until everything else is done, and maybe do the tarmac in halves.
    It now seems to be going so fast I wonder what they're going to do until October. Perhaps they'll get it all finished, then dig up the necessary channels to lay traffic light cables etc and refill it all again.
