Those in London...

Where do you ride? I'm trying to find some decent roads near me, nothing too far as I just want to get up and go. I've found some OK ones in south mimms/ potters bar area, are there any more? (I'm in North London BTW

)

Depending on how early you're prepared to wake up of a weekend, The Square Mile offers some decent roads.

Just one too many prying cameras though!

Hello Jon, how are you? Are you back?

I am in SE and well takes me 40min to 1h to get during the day if going south, south east direction. North direction is about 1h to 1h 20min. Anyhow as mentioned depends how early are you ready to ride.

I did couple of 3am/4am rides in London and roads are so empty, no hassle except near bar areas!! However going to X-financial district that is now 3rd world due to crisis

and there is no one there, you are alone in between those buildings, those tunnels. It take 30min or less to get out towards S,SE and 45 min max to north london.

Hiya rac3r. As you know London roads are pretty crap due to the congestion.

if you need a quick fix best to do a quick run on the north circular then head out for a quick one via chipping ongar (A113 -> A128 -> B184)
