    That Regent's Park lot might be second claim, innit. Video was a bit pretentious, and would have been better with a decent voiceover, but I still quite liked it.

    Guess it's less romantic if they show them stopping for the inevitable red light round there.

    Couldn't be bothered watching the film, someone will have to fill me in. When bikeradar is down I have occasionally wandered into another bike forum and seen that they have a BigMat (that isn't me). Maybe the same? I'm not a Regent's Park regular - only done it once in fact. Would be interested to hear what this chap has been doing to shame himself!

    I see these guys regularly - one or two finishing off as we set off (at 0730hrs) for a few laps on Saturday mornings. Do they just ride Regent's Park? I don't recall ever seeing a jersey out in Herts, Essex etc.

    Surely several thousand miles around the park would be a bit dull. There has to be a Zoolander joke in there somewhere.

    Agreed. We do ~30miles and then go for a coffee. It's a good mix of training/social and a nice excuse to be out of bed early on a Saturday morning.
