First ever trip to Regents this morning and while 99% of the cyclists there were no aggro at all I had 3 people in the same group of about 8 flying past and all cutting in front of me when only just past my front wheel. As I said it was my first time so not sure if that's the norm but would like to think it isn't!

What time were you there? I love a Regents lap, but the earlier you go - especially before the park opens - the more seriously people take it. Lapping at 6:30-7am means you'll encounter massive packs of choppers, most of whom don't know each other but have just wheeled up with people at their own pace. Mix that in with some fairly fast roadiebro zwift types and laps can get messy. Best advice is to stay out of the packs, give overtaking riders plenty of space and pretend they don't have any group riding skills.

Doing some sunny laps of the inner circle, normally a bit smashy but people are generally friendly and respectful.
This morning a group of absolute wankers, were doing some kind of smash intervals on their MAMIL machines with aero helmets with a leader calling out instructions. Group of about 8, two of them were super close to taking out my handlebars whilst sprinting 3 abreast. I suspect it was deliberately intimidating, my wife certainly felt so. Cunts. Only discernible kit was LVCC (not one of the closer passers)...guilty by association.
