To anyone who rides back to SE London there's a loop around Rotherhithe (turn left at the Rotherhithe tunnel roundabout, on the Thames side) that - buses apart - gives you about 4 mins of even-paced riding - 8 mins if you use the roundabout at the surrey quays end. It's a good enough distance to get some proper work done. My spring* training is to do intervals on this every other day (ish)
*today is spring
**edited to add: I have to avoid Kennington Park Road as the desire to commuter race is too strong ... and every other day is a mad exaggeration of what I will actually achieve given my workload!
