2011-08-14 London - Surrey Cycle Classic

Was in Richmond Park bottom of Sawyers and peloton was doing about 20km/h and just pissing about on way out. Bit of an anti-climax.
Same at roehampton gate on the return. Still, it was fun to ride the loop afterwards with no cars on the road. Traffic management at the intersections north of richmond park was chaotic: Traffic director yelling at the guys holding the stop/go signs. Drivers stopping and yelling at the staff because they can't get where they want to go. One driver was demanding to know how to get into richmond park (in her car).

They definitely need better signage for drivers further out so they don't even get that close to the park, and better training for the traffic mgmt staff so they've got it down on the day.
