About 3 miles. In the mornings it's pretty quiet. On the cycle path it's not wise to go fast due to peds and runners, so take it easy. North Carriage and West Carriage Drives has traffic but not a lot. South Carriage Drive is closed to motorised traffic so you can get some good speed up

Thanks @ianrauk , working very close so may be a way to get some mileage up during the week
If you want to do speed work, head for Regents Park. Quite a few cyclists do. The outer Circle is a 2 and 3/4 mile loop.

Out of interest. Genuinely. What does that handle like, Dave?
It's a goolie catcher, it's pretty heavy and absorbs bumps like a 70's steel frame. Nice and smooth there's not much flex so there's no pogo bouncing.
You have to take the Steve Abrahams' approach to riding up hill and enjoy the view (which is fine with my knees).
I've got the medium size frame and there's no standover gap (hence goolie catcher) and have just ordered a longer stem so i can stretch out a bit more. It's got that Allsopp effect at traffic lights.
