    Could well be Pete. I see him on the way home sometimes. He does some awesome mileage.
    FCN 2-4.

    I just realised I didn't finish my sentence. I see him a lot in the park ~9am.

    Ah, I've seen him a couple of times. I think he also commutes out along the King's Road as I've seen him up near Edith Grove a few times.

    I'll dig out my AudaxUK waistcoat and put some massive (bubblewrap filled) panniers on the bike to see if I can confuse him.

    Collected the new bike today so I'll hopefully be taking off a big chunk of time when I get a chance to rag it round the park (probably Thursday).

    Despite it being rather wet and miserable this morning the lack of wind and traffic made it quite good for a timed 3 laps. Plenty of room for improvement - aiming for below the hour by the end of the summer.

    Someone on this thread mentioned that Saturday evening was a good time to go, which was excellent advice. At 6pm tonight there was almost no-one there. 3-minute improvement!

    (Note two entries, one on gears and one on fixed, that's intentional, please leave them there).

    About 10 minutes difference although it might have something to do with the fact that the geared bike is about 4kg lighter than the fixed, and the fixed time was 2 months ago at night.

    174bpm average for the 3 laps.

    Target: 60 minutes (geared) and 65 minutes (fixed) come the summer.

    Oh dear, no time recorded for me :oops:

    Cant push myself enough to do 3 fast laps so thought i would coast along a bit at times. Was heading for 70 minutes due to traffic but had to give up after 2 laps due to a bad back ache. Hopefully the week will allow me some good weather to have another go. :)

    Keep it up... I was slow and aching the first time I did my 3 lap challenge - post a 3 lap time then you have something to aim for!

    I was in the park - I did 8 laps, this afternoon, but not at best effort pace (obviously!) Anyway, I am working on a new 3 lap attempt in May some time (post Aussie training trip)

    IP - Thanks for your appearance (signed on specially, I see). If you want a bit of competition Shaved Legs has sub-50 in him, I reckon, if he'd just take off the child seat. And based on last year, KW shouldn't be far off. Best time last year was sub 49 from Andy Bye (not sure on the bike) and low 49s from 'Superlighweight' (TT machine, I think).

    Was in the Park with JonGinge tonight and last night for a pootle. We were going clockwise, but the conditions seemed to be favourable for a good time. A few folks going anti-c/w, but thought there'd be more.

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

    I was in the park too this evening, regrettably too early in the evening to set a PB though. The weather was glorious but the wind was blowing south westerly, which really sapped the energy all the way up Sawyers Hill and on the run from Kingston gate to Robin hood gate going anticlockwise. Add to that me catching everyone leaving the park, as well as coming to a dead stop 3 times for deer watchers and geriatric sightseers (don't know why they bother as they plainly are blind judging by their driving) as well as roundabout delays, oh and some guy who stopped at the bottom of broomfield hill to do a u-turn and start going back up it.....

    Anyway I ended up with 57.52 - and I was trying pretty hard but just kept getting held up. At least I know there is more in my legs...

    p.s. CJ/Jon, I was in the comedy Discovery kit if you spotted me.... :shock:

    I now recall another chap who looked as if he was going for it, but he had a different bike.

    Sub-58 is pretty impressive indeed in the circumstances. Chapeau.

    My first official effort on this thread and despite perfect conditions this morning, failed to hit 60 mins despite a 19.39 first lap. Final lap was 20.18 so a poor 2nd lap let me down. Grrr. :cry:

    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.

    Hey Christophe, you have just knocked 13 secs off my time, I might never get that back judging by how I feel this morning!!

    My first official effort on this thread and despite perfect conditions this morning, failed to hit 60 mins despite a 19.39 first lap. Final lap was 20.18 so a poor 2nd lap let me down. Grrr. :cry:

    I think the trick to the 3-lap thing is to get the right pace going that you can sustain into the second lap - the third lap takes care of itself with the adrenaline. On all my early season efforts (and still now to an extent) it's the middle lap that lets me down.

    a serious case of small cogs

    Was in the park last night on a red and white Trek and was going for a time. Unfortunately got held up by traffic on the first lap but still felt i could set a new PB until i got held up twice in a couple of minutes near the end of the second lap. Cue throwing the toys out of the pram and quitting.

    Will go for a time at about 7pm wednesday night i think. heres hoping the weather and the traffic are good.

    I'm sure you're right - not shooting your bolt too soon. Same old :wink:

    The other trick surely is to be able to get to Richmond Park more than once a year.

    It's quite depressing knowing that I could have another bash (sans hagover this time perhaps!) and get under the hour yet geography is cursing me and I have to sit on the other side of the country watching my time slide slowly down the board as people find their form.
    "Impressive break"

    Quite happy with a "not going for it" 62 today, but had my first "RP road rage" incident. Going anticlockwise, past Pembroke Lodge, doing pretty much exactly the speed limit, had a big maroon BMW come alongside, get in front and slow down. It was safe enough for me to carry on at my normal speed and take him back, so I did.

    Then nearly at Kingston Gate, he came alongside again, and while alongside, slowed so he was going at the same speed as me. When cars came the other direction, he didn't carry on and overtake, but moved in the road towards me, so I was almost in the gutter and he was near enough and I was spooked enough to steady myself against his rear window. Cue him honking his horn repeatedly, and trying to wait to see which way I was going at the roundabout - for a reason I don't want to know. Answer - whichever way he wasn't (which meant I had to put one more lap in!).

    Some people don't understand that if I touch the car, it means it's quite close. If the car touches me, I might be seriously injured.

    By the way, I'm normally in either a red Briko or an IMTalk jersey - haven't seen anyone else wearing the same, so say hi!

    I seem to remember than 60 minutes or less was a good time and that is my target this year, but seriously what would the comparable time be for a fixed?

    I'd say 60 minutes on gears would be roughly equivalent to somewhere just under 70 minutes on fixed.

    However, my fixed is steel and not a slither of baked soot that weighs next to nothing. <insert more excuses here>

    Fixed: 76.04 http://www.greenbank.org/bikes/tempo/tempo7.jpg
    Gears: 66.25 http://www.greenbank.org/bikes/wilier.jpg

    However the fixed run was two months earlier, at night, and carrying about 4kg more stuff than the geared bike (recently, daylight, carrying almost nothing), and it was straight after a commute so I had already been pushing reasonably hard for 45 minutes.


    I'll try and take the fixed out for a blat round the park tomorrow morning on the way in to work as that'll be a bit fairer than doing it at the end of the day after 25km of commuting.

    Targets are 65 minutes on fixed and 55 minutes on gears but I'll be happy with sub 70 minutes and sub-hour.
