    Eyepea, that must have been a lot of hurt for 1s gain, but great time all the same. Recently that second lap always drags me down as well, I used to be really consistent across the 3 laps (albeit slower overall) but now I'm nearly always fastest first lap, slowest second and make a recovery on the third...

    Well I've done it... my first proper ride that wasnt it the park for 2 years!!!! ... (probly more) Plucked up the courage to join the Kingston Wheelers Sunday run.
    Cant wait to get hold of some Wheelers strip (if they'll have me :D )

    There's a fair few KW members in the leaderboard myself included.[/quote

    Me too. Welcome, Speedoboy! :)

  • It wasn't really a timed or consistent TT, but it was a pleasant morning to this morning! I did quite a few laps steady pace, then timed my last 3. Definitely improving, next week I'll do 3 laps consistent and see what time it brings me. Splits this week were 17:52 16:38 16:30
    Got faster each lap so I reckon I'm on track for sub 50min soon!
    Went around on Thursday evening at 5:30pm. Not ideal but I felt pretty strong so I thought I'd give it a whirl and see what I could do
    Getting quicker every week :D
    Splits were a bit all over the place because of the traffic, but my last lap was quick. Absolutely zero wind, in fact at one stage I had a tailwind all the way round... I love rides like that

  • LOL theHAIRYleggedONE

    How can an ELITE Duathlonist :D have hairy leggs... :lol:

    Looks like you got that time in just before the rain came and a fine time it was. Sub 50 should be well within reach. Gonna have to pull my socks up to stay in top 3 this season me thinks...

    Keep it up Mr Smth
  • SPEEDOboy77... Am I that easy to spot? The elite thing is in the past, now I'm more of an addictive competitive enthusiast :D
    I ridden and run so many laps of the park now my GPS is complaining and my bike can almost take all the corners without my guidance :wink:

    Sub 50 is on the way, a week or two more training.
    Out of interest anyone know what the fastest ever 3lap run is? Dare I ask what speed do people clock going down the hill to Robin Hood gate? Or is that telling the police 'I'm speeding'?

    Yes, it will still make you stronger.
  • If it did not kill you... it WILL make you stronger.
    It's been my motto since the day I started riding... I'm not dead yet :wink:

    I was out on Saturday too. From Roehampton Gate up to Sawyers hill it took forever to do the first 5km, but the second half of the lap was incredibly quick with almost no effort. I quite enjoyed it.

    First post on here, I am a regular at Richmond Park so hope to get my time down this summer/autumn - struggling to get back to my best form from last year for 3 laps (57:02), still I was happy with 58:54 on Saturday morning (on 2007 Specialized Transition with HED 60/90 wheelset) when it was W-I-N-D-Y especially on the long slog that was Sawyer's Hill. :shock:

    Hoping to get it down to 56 something this year if I can find a good day with little wind but won't be challenging the really fast boys here.

    only a few mins off last one, a bit too wet to go down broomfield at full chat, but nice and cool so that helped.

    Well with just over a mile to go i was thinking about whether i was going to take 20 or 30 seconds off my time. Unfortunately i then got slowed down by a car for ages so ended up finishing 6 seconds slower than my previous time. Oh well, with unhelpful wind today hopfully it'll just mean that i take a greater chunk off my time when there isnt so much wind. :)

    Cumulonimbus - you were right about that wind, it was really strong and right in your face up Sawyers Hill and also along to Kingston gate on my anticlockwise laps. I had more luck than you, slicking a reasonable chunk of my previous best which moves me up a few spots. It just felt good to get out as I finally have a working bike computer (I am still trying to decide what to do with my broken Garmin 305). I cant wait to have another go when the weather and conditions are better - there must be a couple of minutes there in ideal conditions.

    Hmm, and I've been injured, out of training, and all these KW people are chasing me! There's 3 of us all in a row now, and whilst I'm still ahead of the little pack, I can't see any improvement for a few months until I get some legs back :(

    Don't worry Jim - looking at your improvements this year alone, I am sure it will come back soon when you can get back into it properly! Plus you have all the techno wizardry to optimise your training. :D

    I haven't had much time on the bike at all. Two sportives and commuting in the last 6 weeks and thats about it - God I even broke my Garmin, so I have finally capitulated and bought a cheapie bike computer and just wanted to do something timed and couldnt be bothered to go to Box Hill.... In fact I reckon most if not all of my improvement is due to a 900 quid aero wheelset but I will be having several more goes at this before the year is out as one of them might actually be in optimal conditions...

    Just wondering what sort of time saving would be achieved by upgrading from Aksiums (circa 18 minutes a lap) to an aero wheel of around 50-58mm depth?

    Cycling is all new me, just started doing triathlons from a running background. This table is a great motivator, definitely going to try working my way up the list a little. Bit of a newby question if people don't mind, how often do people get out of the saddle on this loop? At the minute I'm only doing it on the final section of the climb up from Kingston Gate, going anti-clockwise.

    Hmm, I am sure there are several graphs I have seen showing that the aero benefits are there, but remeber that the bearings will be better in more expensive wheels, and what I find most noticeable is the stiffness of the better wheels.

    Anyway I think I will give that Dynamo TT a go as its a great idea and I think it should supported - plus being allowed to break the 20mph speed limit shouldnt be missed.

    Welcome, PH! :) Great to have another entrant. Good time too!

    For my part, it depends how I feel. Sometimes, I'm out of the saddle from Richmond Gate up to Pembroke Lodge.

  • Does anyone know what percentage gradient Broomfield Hill is and also just to say I hope the guy who had the big off at the bottom of the hill on Wednesday is o.k.
  • Hiya, just in from a Sunday early attempt at this, been cycling quite a lot in the summer months, and was dying to have a go to see if I could improve on my 71.33 from last year.

    And I smashed my record, 62.27! Really pleased, and quite surprised I have improved so much! It was a good run round, very little traffic (started about 0815 I think), good weather. Guess the next target is to break 60 mins, but maybe that's for next year. Hope to try it again this year and dip under 62.

    I also wonder, I have a mid 80s Raleigh road bike. It feels fast, but wonder how it compares with the road bikes of today. Have never ridden anything faster. How much "advantage" would a modern road bike give? Just curious... ;-)

    Another attempt on the 3 lapper this evening after work, also gave me a chance to try out the Garmin :-). Managed to knock almost a minute off my time, must be all the riding I've been doing ;-) Had a huge headwind on first 2 laps (clockwise) so I thought I'd give it a try anti-clockwise and knocked over 20 seconds off the time of my first 2 laps. Still had a headwind on the 3rd lap though, though it wasn't as bad :-) Sub 1-hour beckons methinks...
