    I can be at the bottom of Gray's Inn road at 5.30pm, why?

    Nah don't play the games until BF bridge, to flat everywhere else - no sport :twisted:

    Is Waterloo okay now? I used to love the rush hour swarms that gather :lol: it's like a hi-viz version of a Tdf sprint finish but in slow-mo :lol:

    After enjoying the snowboard cross in Whistler, I'm imagining a similar kind of carnage along this path. Who has the head cam to share this event??

    Ooo you go a different way from me. You go left at the bottom of Gray's Inn road. I go right and down Kings Way.

    So do I woooo hahahaha

    Just everyone once in a while I get pissed off with Holborn traffic lights and the 1billion people trying to cross the road when it's red/green.

    I'd be interested to see the rest of your route, my train passes through Wimbledon i've often considered getting off and cycling in the last few miles, stats don't you know :wink:

    How long does it take you?

    40 - 45mins.

    You could probably do it faster.

    Can't post the link.

    If you have time you can follow me to Wimbledon Tube today. Though I don't want you to miss your train. Takes me about an 1hr to get home. (40-45mins in)

    Not sure how to post the link for the route.

    But its pretty simple. If you follow the tube stations South Wimbledon tube - Oval tube. Go past Oval and take a left up Kennington Road, head towards Lambeth North tube, take a right and then you are buy Waterloo tube. Around the the Imax over the bridge you know the rest.

    I had a proper wobble just before the car and bus due to wind and realised I may be overcooking it.

    Brief but fun!
