Richmond park: FUBAR

[RyanW]

I cycle both round for training and through for commuting.

What the hell have they done to the surface. Totally ruining my tyres getting my bike filthy, cars chocking me with dust and spraying me with grit, i cant overtake as some of the bits out side of the tyre tracks are a good few cm deep and pretty hairy (i lose grip, i know there are signs but i lose grip if i change line at 10mph)

I even had to walk one bit (the big hill at k/stone gate (thats my excuse and im sticking to it)) due to all the dust and poor sight.

Why have they done it, something to do with protecting road surface? or just to kill cyclists

No mate, sorry wasn't complaining. The more people know about this the better.

Ah ok. Something really needs to be done before someone gets hurt though, as if someone comes off, which they will. They will get some pretty intense road rash

Indeed, it looks very nasty.
