Crack of dawn TT

Just putting an idea out there...

Practicality, popularity, route, etc all to be seen...

But, in principal, who would be up for some TT racing through town?
It would have to be early morning on a weekend, I reckon, before cars and cops are up. But there are plenty of nice routes to consider. Riders starting at 2min (?more/less?) intervals.

Here's one possibility. Exactly 4 miles. Not too many traffic lights + good visibility at junctions. Start/finish at Blackfriars Bridge.

Whaddayareckon?

Oh. And if if this does happen, the actual time / coordination would have to be done by mobile phone, not on here. For obvious reasons.

Looks like fun.

that would rock... if i am not working when you choose the day then yes.

Outstanding idea!

Would want to be early one Sunday morning, like the route as is.

not this sunday please ;( I am about next sunday however.

Not next sunday. It's the day after the next grandslam in a day.

haha yea looks wicked id do it even tho id come last

Sweet. Looks like a Sunday morning would be best then.
Let's see if any other routes are offered up, otherwise we can stick to the above.
How are people's diaries looking end of Sept/Early Oct?

nice one tomasito. i might be up for this. gotta say september is already looking pretty chocker so it could be time to start looking into october.

Could be cool to have a bi-monthly, early morning, forum TT.
Various courses around London, anyone?

Polo tourney first weekend of Oct.
Then it looks clear...

Various courses around London, anyone?

+1. There are so many cool routes to be had.

in front of buckingham palace, westminster, MI 5. pushing your luck.

also get a course so you are going left so you don't have to cross through the junctions

Is anyone really going to object to one cyclist going past every 2 minutes though?

good point dogs about left turns.

i expect to have caught my two-minute man by then tom ;)

Run the course in reverse and you'll only have one right turn.

See how much interest this one gets then I propose we start a regular live-urban TT league amongst ourselves.

Afterwards ride someplace good for breakfast then go about our Sundays.

One Sunday every two months.

Right

The outer circle is an obvious candidate for a long left-hand course.

love this idea

Can't go anti-clock around Parliament Square, that would garner attention from the Police. :)

you go straight across if you're doing it in reverse, then left onto Embankment.

Well, no, you'd just go up Great George Street and straight across Parliament Sq before hanging a left.

Or what he said ^^^^
