where people can train safely on road
Hah, have you seen the thirty strong groups from a club whos name I won't mention?
Train at RP all you like, but not at the expense of people on bikes just trying to get places.
Howard-
Does that club has an epic video about them? If so, think I know who you're talking about. Normally I'd ride clockwise to avoid people like that. Yesterday saw a cyclist on the floor, and a cab across the road with a smiling driver standing next to it. The other week a 7 seater pulled out right in front of me from Avenue Rd and then was shouting at me, that he had a right of way. Need to watch out for pedestrians and runners too. Don't really know any other similar place in zone 1/2 where you can keep the pace up and relatively stop not too often.

Can you name names? Its just I cycle there all the time - both commuting and after work laps and can't say I've ever had a problem with an organised club going round the park.
Pretorius do laps after work and are very well behaved, Islington do early laps on a Saturday morning and again, always well behaved, RPR - up so early and so few of them I doubt anyone on a commute gets bothered by them.
If there is a club that need to improve they should be named, I'm sure someone on here would be affiliated and could have a quiet word.. -

Sigh!...there is always one moaner...
I train there all the time 30,40, 50 milers around the outer, cyclists pass me i pass cyclists never a problem. I respect the pootlers and the hardcore respect me, we are cylists that's how we roll.
My main two causes of anxiety however are the fucking useless twat mini-cab drivers that just seem to plague London generally these days and getting car-doored or u-turned upon by the muslims down at the bottom where the stretch pics up speed.

Would be great to have a congestion charge or a flat fee to keep cars from driving through the park and create at least one place in London, where people can train safely on road.
