    Nice work Naked Ollie, there used to be a big gap between the early to late fifty minute spots but they've all been impressively filled in over the last few weeks. I'll be at RP on Monday but only with a newbie cycling friend so I won't be challenging for a top seven spot till next weekend :D

    Pretty good conditions but the mid-afternoon traffic was a problem, especially on my third lap. Really must get up earlier ;) Got a PB but should have been quite a bit quicker. Still, an improvement is an improvement :)

    Urrrrrss texted me on Friday while I was at work saying he'd posted a PB - just what you want when you're stuck in an office! Then read about Seabadger flying around this morning, so decided to have a shot tonight.

    Set a PB by 54 secs: 54.33 - so first time under 55mins. Very chuffed. Celebrated with homemade pizza, beer and chocolate tonight. Live the dream, eh? :lol: Very good conditions tonight, no dodgy stomach this time, swapped my 25mm tyres for 23mm and not troubled by traffic.

    I guess the target now is sub-54. I need a good few more rides like tonight though to start challenging that sort of time - the commute alone isn't going to get me there.
    FCN 2-4.

    "It stays down, Daddy."
    "Exactly."

    well finally got round to a 3 lap effort on my new carbon bling.

    nearly got knocked off on lap 3 (near the car parks), so took it easy for the remainder to get the HR down!!.....anyway 57.10. Plenty more to come (hopefully a 54.xx before the end of the year

    Cheers cjcp for the advice, i'll try and mix it up a bit. I tend to go out fairly fast (for me) for 3 laps and then drop down in pace after that to get some extra miles in. Generally I try to get in a groove and stay there for as long as possible but do find quite often i've got a fair amount left when 3 laps are up. As the weathers supposed to be good this week i'll try those tactics and see what happens!!

    I just noticed your PB, great effort!!

    Grazer, good time but not so good on updating the table ;)
    Emu, good stuff. 2 PBs in a couple of days. Nice. Sub-hour soon!
    Silverfox, welcome to the challenge. See how guinea's times have tumbled recently for some inspiration

    The sun was out and the wind was from the east (if a bit strong at 10-12mph), so the mudguards came off, the shorts on (both for the 1st time this year) and I've broken the hour for the 1st time ever - 3 minutes off my PB. I'm really pleased (understatement) as I doubted whether this was within my grasp. I've been doing a lot of power interval training in the gym midweek and a sportive, audax or club run every weekend since February and it's finally paying off

    Nice job, Toontra!

    cj, I'm out tomorrow morning so i'll try and push myself to the limit, always been a bit bothered i'll blow out after the second (or even the first) lap! But hey there will always be another day. Hopefully I will be able to post my improved time tomorrow!!

    Good work on the PB toontra. I was in the park this morning and tried to get a decent time in. I broke the hour, but no PB - my legs just weren't having it.

    i too was out this evening. felt a bit tired so i almost didn't believe it when i came through the first lap in 18:30 but thought it best not to ponder the thought and get on with it.

    i was going around anti-clockwise and saywer's hill felt like a breeze with some quick cadence stokes. the wind down queen's road was quite annoying and i didn't bother wasting too much energy on the decent. going up dark hill was as always a test of character. that hill costs me way too much time if for a second i loose my mo so i try to spin it out as much as possible and keep the legs churning. i got into a nice rhythm and managed to catch up to a rider kitted out in felt at the bottom of bloomfield hill. from here on we shared the load for just over a lap. i ended with 55:39.

    i knew my time would be out of contention when i decided to chain gang but i thought that if i'm in good enough shape at the moment to get these kinda lap splits then i can wait for the near perfect conditions to absolutely smash my pb. i had to throw away a lot of momentum at two crucial spots, one due to deer and the other a dozy driver.

    OK the old scrote is back. Just returned from my first timed three laps of the year. Unfortunately I got stung on the head on my first lap so my time includes a couple of mins thinking time during which I pondered whether to continue.

    Welcome back Snakehips!

    Well it's been a while (last time I posted a time was Jan), and I've been away a lot, but finally had a decent go last night. In the meantime I've plunged down the table from 5th to 14th in barely a month, which gives you an idea of everybody's improvements.
    One of the biggest was Gradiric - not sure if anyone else congratulated you, but well done, that's a phenomenal jump. And I can see it won't be long before rolo tumazi comes breezing past me.

    Anyway, I've managed 50s off my time down to 57m30s. I reckon I'm going to hit some kind of ceiling around 56m, which probably comes down to limited natural talent as much as anything (a better bike might be worth a minute tops), but I'll make beating that my target for the rest of the year.

    Jon, thanks for updating my time... It's frustrating enough as it is without going backwards :wink:

    I popped out on Monday and had an awful time with the traffic. Reckon I lost at least 30 seconds a lap with the car park at Broomfield Hill an absolute nightmare on every lap. It's hardly worth recording my 5 second improvement - but there you go.

    Well, I'm back! Great motivator this thread - thanks all. Knee operation in February, so still some way to go. Losing some lard would help too. OneHip: yeah traffic was nuts - I was overtaking them going uphill at 19KPH! But the weather is just stunning...

    Absolutely fantastic night for the 3 lap challenge, not much traffic, light easterly wind, only problem was the police. Got stopped on my first lap at the bottom of Sawyers Hill where I had to promise not to race! Gutting, as I was flying at the time - still managed an 18 min lap, followed by 17:45 and 18:05 to smash my PB by almost 3 minutes - I'm well pleased and looking forward to Fred Whitton at the weekend.

    I took just over half a minute off my PB tonight. It should have been more, but I answered a phone call from the missus on an uphill section and ended up plodding up. I even changed down at the front so :oops: It took about a mile of hard cycling to recatch the group I'd just caught at the time, so it definitely cost me.

    I reckon it was down to the newvShamal Ultra wheels I was promised for beraking the hour mark :) The missus was none too pleased I did it so quickly. I have to say thanks again to Mr ShavedLegs for the awesome prompt service that meant I could take them to France for my trip to the Alps. Not many online companies deliver to Richmond Park free of charge on a saturday morning.

    There was a car very close behind me this evening when I needed to have a bit of a flob. It was the police. Nearly hit his bonnet...but he didn't seem too fussed :lol:

    The lack of competition for clockwise is beginning to get me down. I might have to have a go at anti-, thought it's been two or three years since I rode it that way.

    Thanks to whoever it was shouted that I looked like I was 'going well'. Didn't feel like that. It was actually pretty windy this evening.

    Finally back round the park with good weather. Thought I was a bit tired after the weekends Audax (Severn Across 400km) and a hard commute home, but I managed to get under the 70 minute barrier with a 69:08. Goal is sub-hour but I may have to use the Colnago rather than the fixed Audax bike with 4kg of crap in a Carradice Barley.

    Hi guys, keep up the good work. This is still the best thread on the forum :wink: Someone asked in an email how to time the 3 laps. Hey its purely down to yourselves. All this thread is supposed to be a source of motivation to make you ride hard and get fitter. How you decide to time it is completely up to you. Nobody's gonna check and if you knock off seconds for whatever reason who cares you're only cheating yourself :D

    Its great to see how well some of you newbies to the thread are doing. Just to even things up a bit, so you know who to compare yourself with, I've added the TOR (Type Of Rider) Column which you can add when you next update your time. TOR- Racer/Fitness Rider/Sportiv/Club/WW(weekend warrior)/TT/

    This morning at 6am the park was "carless" conditions were good if a liltte blowy. Am I the only one that seems to crawl up the climbs when in TT mode? :cry: My plan was to go under 55mins so I'm happy. Take care :D
