Richmond Park 3-lap Challenge - 2008
Comments

Is it just me or are these times way ahead of last year. I remember looking at last year's list while maintaining a modicum of dignity... Still a few months to go yet.
Guinea/AndrewBye - awsome stuff. A real inspiration.0 -

Just got back, nice day but damn that wind, had been expecting nice gentle easterly and what I got was hard south westerly - not good! Still managed a decent first lap, but felt shattered after that. Carried on and was lucky to be overtaken by a speedy guy on a Bianchi just after Sawyers hill - managed to stay within 20 yards of him for the rest of the lap and about half of the third lap (never got close enough to drag though ) and that extra motivation was enough to get me round in just over 57 minutes - close to a PB. Think it'll be a while before I climb any further up the table though by the look of it...

Pretty happy to have got under an hour - but 57mins surprised myself in the blowy conditions. Full of it - given two weeks ago I was 65 mins. Thanks to the Rapha guy who pushed me thru first 2 laps.
biggest motivation was DJ's 58whatever0 -

It used to be a purple Sigma. Not sure now.0 -
Well can I just start by saying conditions were absolutely perfect early this morning, no traffic, slight breeze, sun out........just a shame my body didn't come to the party :x .
Can't explain it, but was just one of those days when even before I got to the park I was sensing it wasn't going to be my day.
I managed to cross the finish line of my 3 laps with my tank running on an oily rag and only managed to take just under a minute off my PB.

Half-hearted short 61 today. I'd kinda given up getting a fast time before the end of lap one as the traffic was so bad. Note to self (again): get up earlier.
Today's conundrum: The park is hardly a maze, so why does it take car drivers so long to decide which exit to take on the mini-roundabouts?0 -
Improved to 61.36 today. Hopefully the hour beckons soon.

Got into the park at 6pm this evening - my first outing in this year's warm weather. Had a vague target of beating 58mins, but was astonished to find myself well within target coming into the final lap. Fell apart a bit with a stitch and some cramp (down to my usual bad preparation for these things) but still managed to clock 56.30. My target for the year is 55mins - and my 3rd cat license! - both of which are looking more within reach now. Well chuffed!

Very pleased with my new time. 26 secs outside my PB, but that was on my race bike, not commuter hack. I've also had a stomach complaint since Friday and am using 25mm tyres, so I'm hopeful off getting below 55mins by the end of the summer. Was conservative on my first lap to see how I felt, 10 secs slower on the second lap and then went for it on the final lap.
It helped having a fellow Wheeler blaze by - I thought it was a car coming past at first, but it was the hum of his deep section Zipps - , shouting some encouragement and merely trying to keep him in sight. (Seeing him go past, I had a glimpse of what speed these sub-50min boys do. There is not a cat in hell's chance of me ever going that fast without an engine.)FCN 2-4.
"What happens when the hammer goes down, kids?"
"It stays down, Daddy."
"Exactly."0 -
Wow, these do seem a bit quicker than the same time last year - AndrewBye that is a superb effort! Be really interesting to see if anyone can better that.
I had a traffic-troubled 55.09 last week and managed a slightly better 54.43 this Saturday.

What's a good time of day to go training in the park for minimal traffic? I want to go training there with a mate who's pretty traffic shy. Both of us are as good as unemployed so we could go any time.
And is there a start/finish point for the 3-lap challenge, or is just 3 laps from wherever?0 -

Personally I start from the roundabout at Roehampton gate, but that's just 'cos it's the Gate I enter from. Doesn't matter if you ask me, but maybe some of the tacticians have a favoured start place for optimum performance? If so do tell!
Traffic wise, early in the morning, like 8.00 or before. Evenings I'm not sure, but I think somebody above mentioned it gets better after 7.00pm.
However, if you're not working I guess any week day between rush hours might be worth a look?0 -

I have to confess I start from semi-rolling. But in my defence - normally I have to slow right down on approach to the roundabout (for traffic), and I start the clock as I exit it so to my mind anyway there's not a lot of advantage!0 -

Same here. Right turn at the roundabout down from sheen gate. I maybe gain about a second over a standing start. I'm not going to worry about it.
I've been thinking that possibly the best place to start is richmond gate, especially if you start your laps without being properly warmed up (that would be me as I live only a mile from the park). It means you can go all out up the hill on the last lap... might have to try it sometime.
I've never been able to get up early enough to see these mythical traffic-free hours0 -
nice ride chaved legs. very classy. build list please.
It is an OberonTitanium prototype frame. (just the paint work to finialise) Shimano Ultegra groupset, Deda bars/stem/post and Cosmic Carbone sl's (not pictured).
All raided from the shop, but justified as I need some nice pictures of a built bike. I'm racing it purely for marketing reasons too.0 -
seems the combination of wind / traffic / amount of rest are the major determining factors - no wind or traffic last night - just a few lazy deer in the road - managed to shave off almost 3 mins off last weeks time and jump 6 positions up the board - chuffed!!

Sorry if this seems overly sensitive, but INK169 has updated an old table - I notice this because my latest time (of which I am most proud!) is not on there. So below is the latest table with INK169's newest addition.

Cheers Damo, had spotted that myself - had to do a similar re-post last week and felt a bit picky about it. This time was going to just leave it until I (hopefully!) post a better time. Can't be that hard to keep the right table up to date, though, can it?!0
-
An improvement for me of 55 secs which is better than nothing I suppose. How many miles a week do you guys at the top put in to be able to do 49 to 55 mins for three laps? Or is it just years of cycling? I'm doing 4-6 laps 3 times a week if I can but my times dont seem to drop that quickly!

finally got round to going out and trying the three laps and promptly got absolutely drenched on the first lap this afternoon. very enjoyable. was reasonably happy with the time - only the fourth time ive ridden properly so should be some room for improvement!
though how people are going round in anywhere near 50 mins is beyond me!

Just back from a lovely evening ride in RP. Haven't timed myself since Feb but, finally, some solid proof that Etape training has been effective. Improved from 63.10 last time, to smash the magical hour mark with 56.40.

Daveys - I'm guessing that your 4-6 lap rides are at a lower intensity, and while you will build endurance over this distance, it won't necessarily be ideal for building speed over 3 laps. You might be better off mixing up your sessions by doing one lap fast, second lap slower, third lap fast, and build from there etc. It's the same principle as having speed and endurance training sessions for running.
I'm by no means an expert on training though so if your or anyone else thinks this is gibberish, please say so!FCN 2-4.

What with everyone's times tumbling rapidly, I thought it would be easy to better my time too, but it's taken three attempts to do so. But very pleased with (and slightly surprised by) today's time - helped by perfect, windless conditions in the park and negligible traffic. Oh, and it was from a standing start - not sure about these, ahem... "semi" rolling starts!!
