Anyone know of any good routes with little traffic and fairly flat in and around London?

    Flat training routes in any part of London ideally. I have been going to Richmond Park for the past 3 years but wondered if there was anywhere else.

    Without heading out of the Capital, you're really restricted to Richmond or Regent's Parks, plus Hillingdon Cycle Circuit. Maybe hook up with a local club / chaingang to and use their routes out of town etc.

    I didn't realize that the best TT technique was zig zagging round cars :D

    for a laugh

    pound it out on the Embankment > Upper Thames street late night midweek...quick once road the gyratory at the tower and back to Westminster

    try and hold the green wave through the lights (without fast moving traffic to help its hard)

    or be more sane and ride out of town

    really now, getting pros to race like rats in a maze, what will they think of next?

    Only first 30 orders?! I thought they'd make them carry 30 orders at a time to make it more interesting?
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..
