Finally decided to go for all London badge. As I live in Suffolk, is it? possible to do some work online now via Street View. I do realise that I would still need to go London to practice routes, just thought maybe it may be beneficial to involve Street View. Are there any videos of routes that can br bought

To borrow a quote from Jack Rosenthals 'The Knowledge' film . . .

'Theres only one way to do the knowledge, and that's to get on your bike and do the bleeder'

33 years later, it still applies.

Lesson over.

Depends on your ability.

To borrow another quote from the film:

'If you're a genius it may take a year, on the other hand it may take 2, 4 or even 10.. If it looks like its taking longer than that I should pack it in and have a go at balet dancing'

I've known all of the above.

I took about 2:7.

:wink:
