Well, good weather means more people to the park. 
Will still go down to have a go.
If it is too busy, will just go home. |

| That's what I did yesterday - I also tried the cycle lane between HPC and Speaker's Corner but even that was too slow because of all of the meandering Boris bikes. |

| We do need to be very careful in a busy park, keeping it slow and safe, and never risking a collision. |

I saw you on Wednesday coming down the cycle path as I was going up it, and I yelled "Hi Ed" but I don't think you saw me.
Have you tried Brugess Park Ed, it's only about 0.5miles of a long straight (smooth) stretch, but might be less busy that HP. |

Yesterday was Ok, not too busy.
Manage to do a few laps with Henrik, and saw Mike cycle past. |

| I was out as it got dark, did 6 laps. It was busy but ok. There were times when I did have to slow down and I have a bright new headlamp to warn people when coming up behind (by shining it on the ground in front of / beside them) |

This one: http://www.maplin.co.uk/led-lenser-head-fire-power-chip-lamp-97729
It does produce quite a focused / directed beam. You can paint a circle (well, an elipse I suppose) on the road quite some distance ahead. Only 35 quid. Must confess half the reason I bought it was because it's got a very-bright-light, don't-look-at-the-beam warning on the packet. That and it blinded me in the shop when I looked anyway!
The packet quotes output as 66 lumens.
