Unless of course you like going 9mph and swerving around human clutter.
I usually do CP on weekends. Sat. tend to be better than Sunday. Better yet, get out there by 10 AM.
90% of the issue in CP is from CP South to just past the Met. Horse carriages and especially the pedicabs are issues. For that stretch I try and stay very attentive, one can get into a pretty fast rhythm outside that zone.
