    Either:
    a) no-one's been out to RP for a couple of weeks
    b) this forum doesn't work (in which case this probably won't post)
    c) everyone is a bit fed up and has gone somewhere else

    if c), can someone let me know if this thread will be available somewhere else. I can understand why, it's just a pity as the old forum was good and these types of threads give a bit of motivation.

    Off to RP tomorrow night, but not expecting to be too quick. Have been eating non stop since the London-Canterbury last week.

    I think it's a combination of all 3! I for one am not impressed with this new forum. I'm sure this thread was a bit longer but some posts seem to have been lost off the end. The links tell me there are 19 pages but I get an error when trying to access anything greater than 17. Quotes and forum code haven't ported properly either. Grrrr.

    Anyway, let's hope it gets sorted and/or people get used to it. I am tempted to set up a little site for the sole purpose of recording and displaying everyone's times instead. What do people think?

    I get the same error as you, naked ollie.

    I have tootled around RP twice in the last week, too pathetically unfit to manage 3 laps, and have seen some people moving at a rate of knots, but fewer than normal. But it has been very wet and windy all that time, so its understandable that posts are down anyway.

    Some people have flounced off and taken their posts with them. The forum software doesn't rejig the page count when posts are removed. But it will fix itself when more posts have been made.

    Back to RP. I think the problem has been the ipssing rain which will stop many people from going out, and for the people that do, it'll put them off giving it some beans.

    I'm going to put in a lap or two on my way to 5-a-side football tonight, but it'll be a while before I get a chance to put in another 3 to try and improve my pretty poor time.

    Yes, I'm sure it's a combination of weather, tapering for/recovering from big sportives and also this rather ungainly new forum software.

    I'm hoping for a crack at the PB some time this week or next...

    pretty happy with a 56.52 today. Would have been 20 secs less if it wasnt for the ******* saxo driver who forced me to stop from 60kph at the bottom of the big hill on lap 3. I turned the air blue with rage...... Anyway, i think that puts me up a couple of places

    When are people finding the best time to get a clear ride :?: . i'm sure i can get sub 56 with a clear run. Maybe i'll have to get up at 6am this sunday......

    Great night tonight. Was out from about 6:50 - 8:00 and hardly got held up at all.

    Taken 15secs off my best. Wasn't feeling too good and first time out since the big sportive, so quite happy with that.

    How quick would Cancellara get round?

    Just time for one lap between coming home from work and going off to play football. New fastest single lap (of recent times) but that was with about 8kg of football stuff in a rucksack and pretty tired. Hopefully I'll have time for another 3 lap blast sometime soon.

    Glad to see you guys are still hammering away around RP!!. When shall we officially close this thread for this year then? Shall we say September. Then perhaps we can all meet up on one of the last weekend of that month, do a nice moderately paced three laps and then go and have a coffee and some cake in the cafe. 8)

    Oi fellas don't be lazy, please add your times to the list. Its much better to see your latest time in the enviroment of others. However if Ollie isn't too overworked he may do if for us :wink:

    Good idea Toks.

    Haven't tried this for a month. Haven't had the legs after riding home in the comical headwinds we've been having.

    Btw, I was CJ. What they've done to my username only those IT "wizards" will ever know. :roll:

    Knocked more than a minute off tonight - pretty pleased with that considering the circumstances. Probably could have shaved another 30 seconds off if it wasn't for traffic.

    Coffee sounds good. Beer better :wink:

    Finally managed a decent crack at it on the new geared bike yesterday, shaved nearly 2 mins off the PB.. coulda been more if it hadn't been for that pesky learner driver (excuses, excuses...)

    Beautiful weather, though and not too much wind. Moving out of London in a few weeks and I'm sure going to miss RP...

    Finally managed a decent crack at it on the new geared bike yesterday, shaved nearly 2 mins off the PB.. coulda been more if it hadn't been for that pesky learner driver (excuses, excuses...)

    Beautiful weather, though and not too much wind. Moving out of London in a few weeks and I'm sure going to miss RP...

    That's a good chunk of time off your PB. Where are you moving to BF?

    I had a go last night too but was about a minute and a half slower. The wind seemed odd - light but apparently always pushing against me. Maybe I was just having a bad day...

    CJCP -- the last PB was on fixed and this was on my new Ti road bike (compact gearing) so it jolly well ought to be better and by a decent margin too!

    I'm moving to Beverley in East Yorkshire and planning to look up VC Beverley when I get there. It's great road-cycling territory but then there's nothing quite like RP...

    Right. I've finally done it. Having been reading this thread for about 4 weeks (despite its odd move to BikeRadar, discussed at length elsewhere) I've got a (crappy) time to post:

    This is pretty rubbish in the grand scheme of things but only a month ago I was flogging round on a steel bike at 26mins per lap for only two laps, so its progress!

    Thanks for the idea and the (subliminal) encouragement.......All the best

    Nice one expat.
    I flogged around in a strong wind today and rather disappointingly failed to match my previous best.

    great effort Expat. Copy and paste the results column and slot your result in the appropriate place. Two months to go can you knock off five more mins? :D

    Went out on the "old" bike today, since the weatherman was so insistent on morning rain, and did my second 56.52 of the week. (Maybe i didnt need my fancy new bike after all!). Felt sure i could set a new record, but tired a bit towards the end. Nice clear run too, so cant even come up with an excuse...!

    July effort a little better - and may even have beaten KMahony - if not for the swarm of London Bikeathon participants...I hope they had a great day and raised lots of funds for their cause.
    Dismayed to see Rasmussen's average speed of 34.1kph etc etc given the slopes he had to negotiate - let alone the distance.

    Hey... since the last time I did this, my time's increased by more than a minute and I've put on 2kg... And I haven't even ridden it for a while.

    Cut and past error I think...

    Just returned. 1:00.38. One second worse than my personal best. Uuugh. It was hard going. After focusing on it, doing the British Sportive (7:27 official time), I thought I would do a PB and break one hour. On the last lap, heading toward my finish near Richmond Gate I was seeing purple monsters. I was really going to my limit. I was out there from about 7:30 to 8:30am. Sorry to give excuses but a headwind going toward Richmond Gate really slowed me down. Maybe if I had better luck with the wind I could have done it.

    This is a proper challenge for me. When I'm at my limit and far from the finish I'm pretty good at keeping going. I can find a pace and soldier on. Embrace the pain. 'thank you sir can I have another'. But, at that same moment, pushing myself to go faster is a whole different world. Like I said, I was seeing purple monsters.

    By the way - is anyone still out there? Why do I get the feeling everyone has bolted from this forum and I'm one of the last people...?

    nope, i'm still here greenlake,you most probably overtook me this morning(wearing st ettienne top) :(
    now although i am near the bottom i am getting better and better and today i managed to get my PB, last time it was 1hr 25m 07s at an avg of 13.9mph

    today i clocked 1hr 23m 49s at an avg of 14.3mph also managed my top speed on the downhill section of 32.2mph,not bad for a 18 and a bit stone lump with some fat tyres :(

    one last thing,thanks very much London Dynamo nearly sending me crashing off the side,not clever !!! :x

    8th March 2010,Spain ,Here I come !!!!!!
