    I just had a go over the weekend. In mitigation before I post my time, I weigh 106kgs (top in something at least!) and was riding a mountain bike.. anyway... I have posted my time and added naszz to the overall list. Thankfully new Planet X bike should be arriving sometime early in August, now I just need some ability to make use of it... :twisted:

    Wahey! Finally the wind was (a bit) kind tonight. Not still, but not blowing me backwards on the drag up to Richmond gate for once. Under the magic hour for the first time, well pleased.

    Went out on Thurs evening but was unsure of the wind so didn't peg it around for the first lap. Then realised the wind WAS favourable so did peg it and moved my best time up a bit. Would love to think its that I am getting fitter but suspect the favourable (!!) conditions were the deciding factor.

    Going to have another go this weekend - my time is a disgrace at the moment!


    *edit - bugger, just realised am likely to be hungover. Hmm, I guess even a minute's improvement would be okay - for now...

    Any idea how far this is? I am also interested in comparing my running with my cycling (even though I prefer the latter and it's better for me!)
    We could be posting for 3 laps on foot as well?

    :shock: And posting a few death notices as well

    I've run a few times round the park before (about 7 years ago mind) as part of 11 or so mile runs. I was doing just over 6 minute miling. Hmm, maybe that means I'm better at running than cycling. I definitely prefer cycling, though :)

    I think it is just over 12km, just under 8 miles something like that. I've only done 2 laps. Felt dead. Used to be good at athletics and was athletics captain.... when I was 12 lol. I'm 85kg which is not really heavy but not ideal for a runner for sure, especially as, being a rower, a lot of that is upper body weight whereas you guys will probably be all legs. My two lap time is average, but 48:30 for one lap I was pretty satisfied with. May go for the 45 minute mark end of holidays, and the 40 is my aim come London Marathon.

    You should give the parkrun.com Richmond Park free 5k time trial run a go then to monitor progress - if 40 mins is an aim to go round the park, you should be aiming sub 17 minutes for 5k starting and finishing at Richmond Gate. 9am every Saturday. (I've done 21 mins)

    Thanks! Its odd to be back in London again, shame its a 20 mph limit in RP. Have seen the coppers out with the radar gun about 3 times now - thankfully not fast enough to trouble them yet...

    Has anyone worked out checkpoints around the lap so they can assess how they're doing on a racing lap, and if they have, can they post them up?

    I keep meaning to do so... Would he handy to get a feel for how long the various different sections are. I suppose you could kinda work it out based in distance although the profile changes quite a bit as go from roundabout to roundabout.

    Ok, I've had a few cracks at the 3 lap challenge last year but have only just signed up on this site, so this is my first post. Spurred on by Sastre's effort yesterday I grabbed a personal best this morning. I'm riding single speed so I'd like to think I could squeeze a few more seconds out if I had some gears, but given my state afterwards this morning, I doubt it.

    that's good going dave

    either you're doing yourself a disservice or you've got your time wrong - 58:08 should be higher up!

    i'm riding singlespeed too and also like to think gears would put me up the top of the board :D

    Cheers Ramekin. There was no disservice there, it's my first post and I'm already lying about my time. It was actually 59:08, a bit of wishful thinking going on.

    I was going to have another pop at this today. I went hard for the first lap, and got a little held up by traffic, but despite best efforts, I only managed a 21 minute first lap. I think I will have to wait until I have the right bike to make any more inroads into my time.

    Dave_c - good to see you've signed up at last and put your scores on the doors, good effort today mate!

    For the record, I've not really tried to better my PB in anger for a while due to a combination of work/family commitments and the Police crackdown a few weeks back. However, I went out on the fixie today and managed 57.55 which was a fixie PB for me, so I'm well pleased!

    Hardly worth the effort of copy and pasting, but considering how unfit I think my effort today deserves a post... Hopefully this is finally the start of me getting my time down to something respectable. Under the hour by the end of August would do me!

    I didn't notice any police on the roads at all today. Have they eased off a bit?

    Thanks for the mapmyrun KingstonGraham and the reply AmateurDC.

    I think it is just over 12km, just under 8 miles something like that. I've only done 2 laps. 48:30 for one lap I was pretty satisfied with. May go for the 45 minute mark end of holidays, and the 40 is my aim come London Marathon.
    Assuming starting on the path just inside Richmond gate I'll guess closer to 12k than 8mi, ie I'll use 7.5mi. So the challenge is on - cycle down (I'm 4+mi away), lock up and try to beat 50mins.
    Presumably you have to be careful not to exceed the speed limit on the downhills........

    Thanks! Its odd to be back in London again, shame its a 20 mph limit in RP. Have seen the coppers out with the radar gun about 3 times now - thankfully not fast enough to trouble them yet...
    It is a shame - a 25mph limit (with the normal 10% allowance) would have done the trick; making the point to drivers that it's different to town roads, but without criminalising the vast majority of the cycling fraternity/sorority.

    According to my computer (which I think I set up right) a road lap of the park is just under 7 miles, so about 20.6 or so for 3 laps. Make sense?

    Sounds about right. Some of the above posts are slightly OT and relating to the running round the park on the gravel path, which diverges from the road a fair bit.

    It was hot over the weekend but not overly busy (not as busy as I've seen it anyway) and not one police car spotted in my ~3.5hrs sojourn.

    I agree with RGB about the speed limit: 25mph would have stopped a lot of issues (cyclists don't like getting held up, car drivers don't like being overtaken or tailgated). The lower limit was apparently introduced to reduce deer roadkill. However, 1.5-2tonnes of car hitting a deer at any speed is quite different from ~100kg of bike+rider at the same speed

    Yup, the path round the outside is something like 7.4 miles? I used to do it out of choice on my near-slick road bike, it was fun, and one puncture in hundreds of laps ain't bad.

    When I first came down to london MTBing on that path was my exercise of choice. Then came the 15mph limit on the paths and militant pedestrians (fair enough, everyone wants to enjoy the park). In the last couple of years I've rediscovered the road in a big way :) (The MTB is gathering dust and needs a brake fluid change)

    There was a police 4x4 there yesterday morning. For a moment, I thought I might get done, but then to my horror I noticed I wasn't even doing 20mph!! (on a faster section). Hence, no new time.

    Out of interest, what's the top speed possible in the park? I think 65kph (40mph) seems normal off the steep hill (anti).

    Never actually hit 40mph down the steep hill, more like 36/37 - need to change from a compact to a double perhaps? Going clockwise, the long stretch towards Roehampton (?) gate you can get up to a similar speed on a good day, would probably be able to hit 40 but not in any kind of sustained, controlled way and there's never anyone to sprint against so why bother?!

    Felt good for the first time this year and miraculously even beat last year's best by a massive FOUR seconds... For some reason, going anti-clockwise, the wind always felt like it was behind me tonight.

    The hour is now definitely within reach.
