Harrumph....well we'll just have to see won't we. You're all just jealous cos you're at work ha ha haaa haaaaaa :P

Bit of a headwind from Robin Hood to Roehampton which might slow you down a bit. I don't think conditions today are at their optimum.

After my accident on Sunday me and a (stronger) mate managed a 46.30 for 2 laps. That's terrible. Can I put it down to my injuries?

I think there is an older thread as well. Try this:

Jealous that you'll be out in the park whilst we're all working? Nah.

Adrenaline more likely. You should have been in A&E for heavens sake.

Right...I'm off. Wish me luck

Well, a fairly uninspiring 61.37. I was hoping for sub 60 but I suppose with the cold and the wind and never having done it before that at least gives me some room for improvement.

Don't forget to mention the traffic. And deer.

So that's not bad then.

Lucky sod. At least you got to go out.

"Having done it before" counts for a lot. For example, two chaps in my club have PBs of low 22mins for the 10 on our club course. But they are around two minutes apart per lap around the Park.

If it's any consolation, I'd struggle to get round in sub-60 at the moment.

i really should time my self on day, be slower than faster but be intresting never the less.

Littigator

Yep, there was of course rampant deer all over the place and I had to overtake 6 cars....JEEEEEEZUZ some people drive so slowly when you really don't want them to don''t they.

As for being a first timer I reckon CJCP you're right, knowing it will help next time. I've got another month to try and get a sub 60! :shock:

Me too I reckon. Fitness has been elusive so far this year. I missed riding on Saturday thanks to the machinations of a truly terrible hangover and a 12:45 Kickoff for the mighty Blues. Feeling very cross with myself today as a result.

Can someone close this thread down, otherwise there are 2 threads with the same name and we're going to get cross posting and all sorts of confusion.
