    Your welcome, on a side note
    Your welcome, on a side note those barriers at ride london and the london surrey “classic” etc were more to do with keeping people watching away, as you know the deer gravitate away from us humans at normal times mostly.

    Well for ride London they
    Well for ride London they fence them in as such so they can’t cross the route. I’m very aware of the deer in the park thanks and would have thought that heads down time trialling with roaming animals might carry additional hazards as I recall it is near the time when they warn punters to steer clear of the young deer.
    My question was directed at those that have participated in previous time trials in the park.

    What do you expect them to
    What do you expect them to do? herd wild animals in their own home?

    They do nothing as far as i’m aware, deer will do what they do, you’ve just got to be wary of that, i can testify from first hand experience.

    Quick question – what do they do about the deer ? If a herd crosses the road I’d imagine it’s pretty hazardous !

    It’s an early one and no mistake.

    If you can’t make it, just go to Rider HQ and pull out. You’ll be refunded.

    Enjoy the Tour (I’ll be there too).
