In Cambridge, the closures start at 5.30pm on Sunday, the core closes at
4am and whole route through Cambridgshire is pretty much locked down
from 7am.

In Essex it looks like this:

Uttlesford and Braintree: 7.30am to 4pm
Chelmsford: 8am to 5pm
Epping DC: north of the A414 closed 8am opened 5pm.
Epping DC: south of the A414 and including the A414 closed 9am opened
5pm."

Seriously, deal with it. If it really bothers you that much, take a
holiday

It would be nice if the schools had an amnesty that day for parents
taking their children out of school; after all quite a few won't have
the means to get there anyway, let alone the idea of being a
spectator.

Some schools, and many businesses, are of course on the route, and will
be landlocked all day.

FSVO "whole route". A large part of the north and east sides of the city
centre will be open.

And the only vehicular route (other than the M11/A14/Fen Ditton) between
the two is via Elizabeth Way. Yes, some people will decide to walk (I
don't think no-race cycles are going to be much help) three or four
miles to go about their normal daily business, but even that's going to
be tricky with the closures.
