    Seems everyone goes anti, is it quicker/easier or just all left turns ?

    I think that point had been debated earlier in the thread, though it will be some pages back by now. The roundabouts are easier for sure in an anticlockwise direction, and you dont have to scrub off all the speed you have gained after coming down the hill just as you arrive at Kingston gate like you do if you are riding clockwise which is sure to waste a few seconds. It just feels 'wrong' going clockwise for me.

    hmm maybe I should have another pop at my 3 lap PB sometime soon.

    Would love to try a kind of team time trial around Richmond Park (3 laps) at some point with anyone who would be interrested. Aim would be to do low 50 mins and below. Average speed would need to be around 38 kph+...

    benniehendrix - this could be a whole new forum topic!
    I've never recorded my time with a peloton so it would be interesting to see the rate of improvement over solo times.

    No need for a new forum topic, the following thread would be a good place to discuss it.http://www.bikeradar.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12579626 Perhaps something regular will come of it, rather like the London Dynamos do on a Saturday morning with their 3 3/4 lap chain gang....

    Thought I'd have a first attempt at this. Conditions not the best - a bit too windy and got held up a couple of times by traffic, but overall had a decent run at it...good fun!

    Tried it this afternoon on a knackered old bike which is reluctant to turn sharpish corners. Conditions were fairly good. A bit of traffic around and had to take evasive action when a Merc/BMW (im rubbish with cars :oops: ) driver didnt seem to realise that they dont have automatic right of way on traffic islands. I thought i would vary it a bit so went anti then clockwise then anti again. Didnt have any power meters or HRM to make it a bit more scientific but i tried to be consistent and my laps went 21:24, roughly 23:20 and 22:00 roughly. I felt good on the clockwise lap - maybe thats because i wasnt trying hard enough though :lol:

    I have finally got confirmation of a delivery date. I am praying for good weather next weekend to give this a proper go on a proper road bike. I am intrigued to see how much difference it makes. I will still to try to break the 60 minute barrier on the mountain bike tomorrow though. The early attempt today went by the wayside when I was woken by the postman at 8.30 - way too late!

    Anyone else experienced this? Anyone else know what the story is? Presumably throwing a water-bottle at such individuals would be considered bad form?!?!?

    It's not often I go in the park on Sundays, but yesterday I dropped in for a steady three laps in the afternoon, and witnessed what must be a prizewinner in the Complete F*ckwit Stakes.

    First off, I had a case of exactly what you descirbe POD1, one rider passed me in a nonchalant fashion on one of the hills, once at the top he managed to notice something really interesting in the woods and had to slow down and wave (!) me past. Hmm, yeah, right mate...

    Secondly, and this is the champion f*ckwit rider, that deserves all the biscuits, and some cake as well:

    He was riding a couple of hundred metres in front, and staight off I could see what seemed like strange behaviour, - riding on the wrong side of the road, weaving about, and then amazingly, unclipping one foot and feigning to aim kicks at drivers doors as he pulled up alongside them. He was constantly looking behind him, and as I came up to go past he made a huge swerve forcing me onto the other side of the road, almost into oncoming traffic.

    Me:
    "cycle in a straight line mate!!!"
    Him
    "F*ck off!"

    About a third of a lap later he passed me, got in front and then started violently weaving from side to side of the road, and turning round to make sure I was getting the point (err, what point?).

    An other interesting piece of behaviour was when any cyclists came towards him, ie cycling in the other direction, and particularly if there was a female cyclist involved, he would sit up on the bike and raise both arms as if he was just about to cross the line of some cruel stage of the TDF. Finally, as he decided to pull into the tea shop, both hands came off the bars, as he sat up, cruised along in the middle of his lane and held up a fair amount of traffic as he made a huge show of turning right. WTF???

    I suppose it could be a medication issue, not enough, or perhaps the wrong sort, but tw*ts like him give us all a bad name, - there'll have been several drivers telling their friends about louts in lycra in the park yesterday afternoon.

    I think think I'll keep out of the park on Sundays.

    One of my first attempts in the park, hoping to get under the magic hour mark pretty shortly :D

    Anyone else experienced this? Anyone else know what the story is? Presumably throwing a water-bottle at such individuals would be considered bad form?!?!?

    It's not often I go in the park on Sundays, but yesterday I dropped in for a steady three laps in the afternoon, and witnessed what must be a prizewinner in the Complete F*ckwit Stakes.

    First off, I had a case of exactly what you descirbe POD1, one rider passed me in a nonchalant fashion on one of the hills, once at the top he managed to notice something really interesting in the woods and had to slow down and wave (!) me past. Hmm, yeah, right mate...

    Secondly, and this is the champion f*ckwit rider, that deserves all the biscuits, and some cake as well:

    He was riding a couple of hundred metres in front, and staight off I could see what seemed like strange behaviour, - riding on the wrong side of the road, weaving about, and then amazingly, unclipping one foot and feigning to aim kicks at drivers doors as he pulled up alongside them. He was constantly looking behind him, and as I came up to go past he made a huge swerve forcing me onto the other side of the road, almost into oncoming traffic.

    Me:
    "cycle in a straight line mate!!!"
    Him
    "F*ck off!"

    About a third of a lap later he passed me, got in front and then started violently weaving from side to side of the road, and turning round to make sure I was getting the point (err, what point?).

    An other interesting piece of behaviour was when any cyclists came towards him, ie cycling in the other direction, and particularly if there was a female cyclist involved, he would sit up on the bike and raise both arms as if he was just about to cross the line of some cruel stage of the TDF. Finally, as he decided to pull into the tea shop, both hands came off the bars, as he sat up, cruised along in the middle of his lane and held up a fair amount of traffic as he made a huge show of turning right. WTF???

    I suppose it could be a medication issue, not enough, or perhaps the wrong sort, but tw*ts like him give us all a bad name, - there'll have been several drivers telling their friends about louts in lycra in the park yesterday afternoon.

    I think think I'll keep out of the park on Sundays.

    :shock:

    team time trial at 38kph? i averaged 40kph on my fast lap solo. i'll go the other way pursuit style as long as you don't have andrew bye or shavedlegs.

    seriously, bad idea IMO. police would hate it. what are those poles going up at 3 points in the park going to be? I suspect speed traps.

    Hmmm, has anyone ever been caught by the police or heard of someone who did at Richmond Park?

    Yes, it's happened to quite a few people and the police there are very concerned about speeding cyclists (overly concerned IMO, but this is fatbastard britain)

    I got stopped - on my 3 lap challenge record run of all occasions! Fortunately the cops were going the opposite direction, so after a brief exchange they cleared off and I got motoring again. I reckon it cost me a good 30 seconds though, which would have put a couple of places higher on the leader board!

    The cop came out with the classic line "This isn't a race track you know!" - I had to bite my tongue to not shout back "Yes it is!"

    yes, it's depressing isn't it. "Not a race track you know". Let's see, I was doing maybe 25mph on my bicycle in a park meanwhile all over this city drivers are breaking the speed limit.

    Been wondering that too. I'd like to think it's to control the speeding cars rather than bikes.

    I don't have a cycle computer so don't actually know how fast I am going. I don't think a speed limit can be enforced for cyclists.

    I went to the park at 4pm on Sunday, the traffic was incredible. Really spoils the park, and my speed for that matter.

    Seeing as the new bike recently arrived, even though conditions were far from ideal I thought I would give this a go. Result was pleasing but just hope I can get a better run sometime soon.

    Thanks Rich. Am sure I can do better, i.e. when its not blowing a gale, or drizzing, getting dark, fewer of the anti-destination brigade out in their cars, slowing for a quick chat with a Dynamo rider..... However I am most disappointed that you didnt compliment me on tidying the list up and fixing the spacings... no pleasing some people ;)

    Moved up a few places (14 in fact), but didn't break the 60min mark :(

    Was bloody cold though, my legs and feet kept cramping up and I know I could work harder...

    hmm... might be able to get out of work early today. Sorely tempted to go down to RP and have another pop, though two 'significant efforts' in one week might be pushing it a little ;)

    *EDIT* didn't get out early. next pop at this will be next week - will probably be champing at the bit by then...

    Only been back cycling for about 4 weeks after getting clobbered by a car just over a year ago. I reckon my right leg is still only about 60% the strength of the other hence I was going nowhere fast on the hills. Was great to get out and give 3 laps a go though!

    Well done Tyskie , good to see somebody else above the 70 min mark.
    And good to see somebody else having a go. I am suffering from demotivation at the moment and it looks like many others are !
