    Ok, it looks like I am at the bottom of the heap - however, I am delighted with today's run.

    I am new to this game and trying very hard to get fit. I haven't really had a chance to measure my progress until recently. Last week I did my first century, I also did three 10 mile spins in the week. My previous best around RP was 82.30 back in mid December. I took 10.04 off that time today.

    In the training section, in the thread on 2008 goals, I said I'd like to get to 70 minutes around RP this year. It looks like I may try to make 65 instead.

    Guinea follow the protocol please, put your time in with everyone elses. Posting you time in isolation just spoils the thread:D

    First time I lapped the park on Saturday AM. A good loop, good weather, reasonable traffic and not bad time to get in just under the hour with a minute to spare and little winter training.

    Was in the park today, a bit windy and wet, but not too much traffic so could ride pretty hard and managed to improve on my time from last month.

    Made it under the hour mark today, felt dog rough on the second lap and chain came off on the third so reckon there's room for improvement!

    First go since setting up the thread a month or so ago. Surprised I beat the last time, to be honest, even if it was only 20 seconds. Still a long, long way to go... Maybe it's time to dust off the turbo again.

    Here you go, a nice one to make you all feel better:-

    71" fixed. At night. Tired. Audax pace (i.e. I could do 20 laps at that pace).

    Improvement of around 20 secs on 3 anti laps in Jan. This time was part of a longer ride, so hope to get under hour mark with a focused 3 anti lap effort. Anyone know the guy taking photos last weekend just before the carpark on the uphill drag from Kingston Gate to Richmond Gate?

    I ventured 'out there' for the first time this year, and I've got to admit it was nice to see the old place again. With nice dry roads and not much wind (not me, the weather...), I enjoyed a good run. I had a little breather on lap two, stopping to try a help a titanium rider with a chain jammed in his spokes, - after 10 minutes pulling, pushing and grunting, it was still stuck, - I hope he got home ok. Despite a different perception of effort, speed and upper lip perspiration on each lap, they all came in on a rock steady 21:30, giving me 64:30, so here's hoping for a sub 60 as the weather and my legs improve.
    This time, I killed a crow. I seem to have terrible trouble with the wildlife every time I go in there.

    Hello everyone, happy new year. Bit windy this morning, but an 18 mile daily bike commute for the past 3 weeks has definitely helped with the old fitness.

    Christ-on-a-bike, I hope you were able to resurrect that dead crow.

    I did my first timed outing today in a very windy Richmind Park. Pretty pleased with the time. Last years PB was 58.04. This year looking to go under 56 mins

    Slight improvement. Felt much better despite doing this straight after a pretty hard commute.

    My first ever attempt at 3 laps of the park (bit crap really as I only live 10 mins away). Will hopefully improve with better fitness and best bike

    Another windy day in the park, so quite pleased to come in under the hour mark. Definitely looking forward to calmer conditions when I don't have to flog myself up that hill to Richmond Gate into a blustery headwind. I think I lost valuable seconds wasting my breath on cursing and swearing... Effing hill! Effing wind!

    First attempt for a good few months today thanks to ShavedLegs' unofficial TT - gave me the motivation to finally get out there. A couple of minutes shy of my PB, but my excuses are traffic at a couple of the roundabouts and my chain coming off on the second lap, oh and just not having enough puff to go any faster anyway :). I'll have to doule-check the time with ShavedLegs, as it might be a few seconds out, but I think I managed to squeak ahead of Seabadger.

    Zero wind this morning, and only a handful of cars, so a decent improvement over the last effort (and a PB to boot). If it weren't for that pesky cyclocross section around the roadworks I might even have gone a bit faster!

    Hmm, I don't know whether to be delighted or gutted today.

    I beat my PB by a minute, but it should have been a lot more. I was held up a lot by traffic today, but even worse was the road works which meant taking to the grass and going round the obstruction.

    The weather was perfect today, but I think I should have been at least a minute faster.

    Nice work Guinea and top job Seabadger ( I was gunning for that 3rd spot... mmm perhaps 4th now after your effort :twisted: ). I was at RP on friday morning and was really going for it Anti Clockwise until I saw the road works signs and changed routes. :? :(

    Was also out on Saturday - shaved 2mins off my PB. Plus could have been faster if not for the roadworks. I expect to be a lot better come summer - eyes on the 60 minute barrier...

    I'm desperate to get out this weekend but the weather looks daft.

    I'm just hoping there'll be a break for a couple of hours at some point...

    The break happened faster than I thought. I got out for a few laps this morning, however, I took the MTB. Had a great laugh doing a few laps in the mud.

    The headwind was pretty vicious so I don't expect to see any PBs this weekend unless we have a super hero in our midst.

    I am new to cycling, I'm 18, used to row at a good level but have not done much training for a few months. I'm hopping on tomorrow, to see how fast I can do one lap, once I have done a lap under 15 minutes, I'm going to aim for 2 in under 32, and so on till I can do 3 under 50, that target is for april 20th. Is that a decent idea or not? When I get on rowing machines, it is generally the approach I take so I'm trying to apply the same concept here.

    I should add that compared to when I was rowing, I am overweight, so I should hopefuly burn off a good 5kg+ in that time which will aid my cause, I have no idea what I am at the moment, I'll check it out, probably 85-90kg, whereas my fit weight is 78.

    Think you might be waiting a while to do a lap under 15 minutes! Generally find my lap times are pretty consistent, so that would mean a 45 minute 3 lap time - that would pretty much put you at world class level.

    Wow so you're starting off nice an easy then :D Ex rowers seem to make good cyclists so you never know. If you can get under 50mins by April 20th perhaps you should get in touch with the BCF for some testing. I look forward to seeing you're results - good luck :D
