  • Is there a faster way to ride from Lisson Grove to Hillingdon Cycle Circuit than going down Sussex Gardens, and all the way along the Uxbridge Road?

  • Ever considered the canal tow path?

  • faster

    Theoretically, following the canal is 1 mile longer but takes about 5 minutes less. It has the advantage of being dead flat and avoids the absolute shit show of traffic jams involved in going up every west London high street which is what the Uxbridge Road involves. Even if it took slightly longer, it's still the way I'd go just for the reduction in NOx & PM2.5 inhalation.

  • @NorthLondonLight knows that route in detail I think

  • Am afraid most riders I've seen heading that way are barrelling along Uxbridge Road.

    How long have you been racing or are you just starting?

  • I'll check with the mechanic at my LBS who lives in that direction and raced or did race regularly at Hillingdon. He is the only person I know who will know the rat runs as if there are any he will be using them for his daily commute.
