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.

Got there around 7 I think. I was minding my own business it was the big group that were overtaking me then cutting directly in front which seemed a bit like a punishment pass. Anyway I still loved it and am actually going back tomorrow. To be honest I probably wouldnt have even remembered it happening if it werent for @dangerous_d mentioning it
I always assume people around me have no bike skills just in case. I'm not in any rush anyway just enjoying the sun on my bike so taking the long way round people and waiting for the groups to pass before overtaking anyone isnt an issue

How does this work?

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!
