The Richmond Park 3-Lap Challenge

Have you ever thought about riding in Epping forest instead? It would take you less than 30 minutes to ride to, the lanes have less traffic, are smoother and have more hills, plus you can make all sorts of loops up.

There's also fewer cyclists.

Yeap... but there are a couple of quite stupid reasons why not. Which basically come down to htfu. Oddly tho I find the ride to Epping more hidious than to RP.

But I agree it is much nicer once you're there. Plus after all the wind and this time of year the road under the foresty bits should e fairly dry and clean.
