    Does any body take advantage of the fact that the top road of the seat is closed at 7 pm Oct-March - apart from blue lights and the rangers etc, for some round the seat cycling? I have a road and mtb and was thinking with my lights it would be OK. I did it 12 years ago and comming down Queens drive even with basic lights it was not funny. Lights have improved though.

    It's been over a year since I've found the gates for the top road shut in the evening. It happens sometimes as I sometimes see them being opened in the morning, but not consistently at 19:00.
    Philips Saferide or B&M Lumotec+ are sufficient to light the way in the absence of a fully-inflated moon.

    What every happened to hilly Tuesdays? There was crew who regularly rode round after dark. (I was not one of them)

    This is my closest slight hill climb and always feel uneasy when cars are behind me. Some cars past cyclists OK but some are not sure and wait. I may give it a go.
