Surely you missed one thing off your list - big effort! Great time by the way - I have to agree the conditions were really good out there - you must have zinged up Sawyers Hill with that tail wind, so good to make the best of the wind. I am not sure about white tights though - doesnt white go see-through when it gets wet :shock:

Good night for an attempt tonight.

Easterly wind pushed me up Sawyer's Hill, not too much traffic either though a little held up on one lap.

All-in-all very pleased to go under the hour - sub 59 is the next milestone

Dave C - hell of a time for being on a fixed.

Cheers cjcp, but I must confess I'm only singlespeed, not fixed, so it's not quite as impressive as you might think. I can at least freewheel down Broomfield hill. A mate of mine (naked_ollie on this forum) has done around 58:30 on fixed, which I have in my sights for this year.

Dave C - I think I might have passed you if you had a blue jersey and was there at 08.30 ish this morning- a guy on a fixed was storming down Broomfield at 60kph ish. Awesome.

Again, I'll have to disappoint slightly here – not me, I was there a bit later that morning. Also 60kph! – no, I'll be the one feathering the brake down Broomfield hill, just watching for that front wheel to slip away and catapult me chest first on to those friendly looking wooden stakes which line the route.

Lot's of people going under the golden hour so far this year – impressive. And good to see plenty of people taking part – I imagine the list will be pretty long by Autumn.

Wow. What a difference a couple of weeks commuting in the big ring does to general fitness. (That coupled with a rather pleasing tailwind pushing me up to Richmond Gate...)

Knocked more than four minutes off my previous year's best and am now less than 30 seconds away from my all time PB. Still a long way to go if I'm to get down to the 56m mark which I've set myself as my season's RP personal challenge.

Box Hill beckons...

Wow, nice day

Went along thinking i would probably be looking to try and duck under 70 mins with 67 as a goal if things went well. In the end i nearly broke 66 minutes so was well chuffed Pumping up my tyres for the first time in ages certainly made a difference. Was really nice to turn at roehampton gate and feel the wind pushing me along. Splits were 21:33, 22:20 and 22:12. There was a fair amount of traffic around but it wasnt that bad. Will hopefully be able to ditch the toe clips and trainers soon and finally get myself some cleats. I reckon that may make a difference of a minute a lap so hopefully it wont be that long before i am closing in on the hour as long as the weather stays this good

Couldn't agree more about the wind... a real blessing. Nice bit of warmth too.
As a beginner, was wondering if anyone could tell me on the steep hill (dark hill?) going anti, is it more efficient to stay in the saddle and run an easier gear, or grind a bit out of the saddle? Out of the saddle seems a bit less knackering, but most fast riders seem to stay put. Any method to it, or is it purely a personal thing?

Good going chaps. I was watching everyone blast around anti-c/w this evening while I went c/w on the commute home and was itching to have a crack!

Jezzaus - I think how you take Dark Hill , or any hill, is a personal thing. On the 3 lap challenge, I generally stay in the saddle and use the 39, otherwise I tend to overcook it. On the commute, I stay in the big ring (on Monday, I stay in the saddle; by Friday, I'm out of the saddle ).

Really happy with that - over three mins off my PB. Felt i could go sub 58 but sub 56 was a massive surprise.

Weather was perfect, wind behind on Sawyers Hill made a huge difference. Got into the park at 7pm and only had a bit of traffic on the first lap but cant complain.

Now to lose some weight, go faster up the hills and dip below 55mins before autumn...

7 seconds slower than last year. Quite a good night for it -- easterly wind and not too much traffic (held up slightly a couple of times). Was the lean Kingston Wheelers guy I I played leapfrog with (I made sure not to draft him when he passed me!) on a 3-lapper? I was wearing black and riding a Focus.

I might be able to knock a bit more off but I don't think eyepea0 has anything to worry about :~)

Petromyzon

Nice time Mark, I thought you were being modest when you claimed last year's was a fluke on Sunday morning 8) 8) . I'm working up to having another go myself....

Aye - looks like Andy's just come 38th in the Girvan - being an Elite rider and probably in the top-80 riders in Britain, can see him doing a 45-47m when he's in the mood (and favourable weather).

Ragged the fixed round the park again tonight (red condor fixed, Caradice Barley, Baked Beans Foska top). Took 6 minutes off my fixed 3-lapper, down to 70:05. The wind helped, so did not doing it straight off the back of a commute.

Comedy cramp at 150rpm on the descent from Richmond gate to Ham gate on the 3rd lap, sorry to the 3 blokes I overtook only to pull in and slow up and stop shortly afterwards! Wasted about a minute stopping and stretching so would have been sub-70 minute without that. Middle lap also poor, almost 24 minutes, no idea why until I download the gubbins from the Garmin Forerunner (left the ANT+ stick at work).

Hi Mark, that was me. I wasn't aiming for a time, more trying to vary the pace a bit, easier on the flat bits but with an acceleration at the foot of each hill and again at the top. You probably noticed the irregular pace.

Still, as you say the conditions were very good so the lap times were good. If you want a faster time, I think perhaps if you pushed a bigger gear up the hills and treated them as quick sprints, you'd knock a lot of time off, especially given your lean build too. I'd think it's worth >30 seconds at least. Hurts though

Aha, hello! Nice time, though you could have let me keep second place for a few more days :~)

I certainly noticed the way you shot up Sawyer's Hill for the last time -- there was no way I could match that. As you suggest, I do lose a lot of time on the hills because I lack the strength to sprint up a steep incline (my legs just won't turn any faster!) and during a hard 3-lap effort I'm already struggling to keep my stomach down. Trying to sprint the hills would almost certainly end with a mess.

Good riding with you, albeit in a disconnected way. You're a very strong rider!

Wow the 'GC' has certainly been shaken up over the last few week. Ian Paine (Eye Pea)from London Dynamo's looks untouchable for now and James from Kingston Wheelers has obviously found form from his recent Surrey League stage race. Well done everyone else keep plugging away. By the way are there any women on the list? I know a girl from Kingston Wheelers has managed a 1.05 effort but hasn't posted it. Once I get my road bike bake I've got to have another shot and improve my position. Ride safely guys

Should be some good times if anyone goes for it this evening. I just did a cheeky six-lapper, which was seriously blighted by traffic. Did 2hrs3mins and the last was a 23 sitting for most of the lap behind a queue following a slow micra...
The time above was the first 3 laps of the six. First lap had some traffic but was ok at 18:45. 2nd was awful at 20:15, caught a set of cars behind a peloton of cyclists going up dark hill; slowest ascent ever. 3rd was similar, if anything my personal worst up dark hill was beaten and almost had to unclip and foot down. Still, the knees came out from beneath lycra for the first ride this year so s'all good

dontpushtheriver

Does anyone who was in the park yesterday know what happened to the guy who came off on top of test hill? It was at about 2 or 3pm. He was unconscious and was taken away in an ambulance.

A PB. Very pleased. Am flippin' knackered though and am about to stuff my face with food.

I tried KW's idea of sprinting up Sawyer's Hill on the first lap. Yeah, am a bit of a way off that yet. Managed it on the first lap, but that was it.

Ok, so I wouldn't let it lie. I could've let it lie but I didn't. Went out again after most of the cars had been put to bed and did 3 decent laps (first was still a slow car procession between richmond and kingston gates). That hurt quite a lot but still a PB for me. Hopefully some more to come with fresher legs and, as I realised afterwards, pumped up tyres :roll:

Oi! Use the right table! You're not ahead of me (yet ).

A thousand apologies old chap, your post wasn't there when I started typing... Almost at your sub-54 target and it's only april Might have to up the ante...
9 laps today in sub-3hrs, quite happy with that.

No problem, ol' boy. You've done a lot of riding today!

Yep, nearly sub-54. Absolutely busted a hump from Richmond Gate to get it, but the legs didn't have it in them. My first lap was the slowest at 18:16 and I had two hold ups. My only other excuse is that I haven't eaten properly since breakfast as I've been at a kids birthday party. The conditions were perfect though, so swings and roundabouts.

I'm guessing you'll knock out a sub-53 pretty soon.

Maybe... :shock: My first lap was the slowest too at 18:40. I'm about to add the laps to my sig. You'll notice a big trough in the power on lap one where I was following cars down towards ham gate. Had to avoid some deer on the final straight to sheen rbt. S'funny but every time I do 3 laps I get a hold up on the last straight just as I want to be sprinting :roll: Dark hill was not funny with the 6 laps from the afternoon in my legs.

Wow, well done CJ and Jon, those times are a great improvment. Glad to see you made the best of the very nice conditions today. It looks like I am at risk of being outside the top ten, so I will be aiming at another pop in the next couple of weeks. If not I have two weeks in Australia with the bike to train my a** off and I will have a go on my return when I have shaken the jet-lag

Cheers, Felgen. Fair to say that I've had some good times to aim for. Got to try and beat my PB on Box Hill now. Hoping to get out there in a couple of weeks.

What are you doing in Oz? Home visit?

jonginge

Also cheers, felgen. Managed to take a minute off last year's time today. This one hurt a lot more, though. As Chris intimated, your time was one we were chasing

Chris, we were probably about half a lap apart as we were going around this evening. Thought I might see you, especially as I crawled up sawyers on my cool down

I left the Park around 8pm.
