Training Days: Regents Park

Most of my outdoor training is spent on the 2.7 mile Regents Park loop. On sunday I got the pleasure of riding around with Mosquito Bikes strong man, Jason Pidd. Jason hasn't pinned any numbers on his back this year but regardless is clearly firing on all cylinders. Sometimes I was only able to ride alongside him without actually taking a pull as he powered along in 53/13 into a slight head wind.

Our slightly unbalanced 2UP soon became a 3UP when Simon "grumpy bastard" Bild showed up. We kept the pace nice and high for more than ninety minutes before I peeled off and left Jason to tow Simon around for a few more laps. Regents Park hasn't got the lumpyness or character of Richmond Park perhaps but then it has its plus points. As I've said before, can you see three adult Giraffe's close up when your out training on your bike? ;-).

Are there no traffic lights around that Regent Park loop then?

Yes there are - three sets. Two you need to pay attention to and the other one you can ignore :-)
