When I used to train in CP I learned quickly it's only good to do so very early in the morning or in the late evening.
actually, that's the only time during which you can safely do fast laps. there are too many ignorant idiots out there in the evenings. plus, you might get a sighting of Big George if you ride early enough. then again, i'm idiotic enough to do fast laps in the evenings, too...

it happens when you have the greatest conglomeration of self-centered idiots in the whole world
