    Took a leaf out of eyepea's book and started my 3 laps around 6:50pm. Still reasonably warm, very little wind, and not much traffic. By far the fastest conditions I've had all year. I was worried I wouldn't have it in my legs after yesterday's effort, but managed to average the same power as yesterday, though still less power than when I did 55:06 on the 9th April. Laps:

    Reasonably happy with that. Lap times were 17.41, 17.28, and er, 18.06. Have no idea why last lap was so comparably slow - didn't feel I was tying up, no hold-ups, etc. Maybe the drop in temperature? Was out a bit later than Tarmac Expert (above), starting about 7.20pm, so was getting quite dark by the finish.

    Would be interesting to have some sort of data to analyse for clues - HR, GPS, power meter - except all I have at the moment is the stopwatch on my phone!

    Clearly a man after my own heart, the only things I measure are time and distance. Used to wear a heart rate monitor, but prefer to just focus on effort, I generally know in myself if I'm on a good day or a bad day.

    Re Felgen above, not sure if there are any rules for this are there?! Not that I draft, but there were people last year on full on tt bikes, I figure that as long as you're honest about how you got your time then anything goes. Its just a bit of motivational fun after all!

    Personally I think anyone who does it on a TT bike should put (TT) after their name in the rankings. A good place to draw the line for road vs TT would be the definition in the London Dynamo RP TT event. They say "We are tightening up the road bike category definition this year to exclude aerobars, wheels with less than 12 spokes and rims deeper than 30mm. Plus riders in the road bike category must not wear an aero helmet."
    http://www.cyclingtimetrials.org.uk/Lin ... iJN58tE%3d

    My 51:00 was done on a road bike by that definition. It IS just motivational fun, but the difference in speed with a full on TT bike is so great that it's only fair for people to know what they're comparing their time against.

    Also, it really should be a solo effort, a group of decent riders could probably get close to 40 minutes if they did it as a TTT, and again it wouldn't be very motivating for people to see a time of 40 minutes posted and wonder how the heck someone went so fast.

    Mat - my low tech timing equipment is due to my cycle computer currently being broken and in the process of being fixed. Though my 'stats' generally don't extend far beyond time, distance, and occasionally when I can be bothered, HR.

    It's surprising how little I've missed having a bike computer though - it's quite nice not having any distractions and just focussing on the job at hand.

    No rules, but the first post contains guidelines. Reckon the no drafting 'guideline' is worth sticking to, but end of the day it is supposed to be a laugh.

    Last year I did all my times on Zondas (my summer training/backup race wheels) but this year have ridden Cosmic SLRs (i.e. road race legal but will not be able to ride in the LD RP TTs).

  • to me drafting is a big no no, no matter what.
    If you think it's worth putting TT after your effort then it's also worth putting what bike you used what wheels etc etc cos at the end of the day your equipment does have an effect on what time you do at the end of the day.
    I've never done this 3 lapper on race wheels, only my TT bike but nothing aggressively 'aero' about my setup, even then my TT bike is hardly set up for aggressive TT, it's setup for IM and running off the bike. On top of which my only other bike is a 10 year old training hack which is about as stiff an elastic band and my fastest laps on it are about 18mins.

    We also know that weather plays a big part in times as well as the well discussed air temp/air pressure etc etc. You can go on with a list of factors that can speed you up/slow you down... who cares, really. this is a bit of banter, keep me motiovated to push on as hard as I can mainly cos it's a training session to me and nothing more... if however someone stuck £1mill up for grabs I might take it a bit more seriously :wink:

    I'm a bit surprised in fact that the LD TTs don't basically go for road rules, but I suppose it's to make the road category a bit more sporting. Just means I can't ride my Hed Jet6s and therefore will have to do the TT without powertap (or on my 700c road bike which is decidedly less aero than the 650c road bike).

    Will need to check my wheels qualify for the RP time trial - 3cm isn't a lot really, I could be close to the limit. I'm a bit screwed if they don't qualify as the only other wheels I have are very much in the "training" category.

    mmm... if that was the case i don't think the current top 5 would even make the top 95 :wink:

    When I said drafting was against the rules, it was meant as a tongue in cheek comment. There are no 'rules', only a common sense code of practice. I am an honest sort and as such am not fussed about wheel suckers, but won't take up the offer of a tow if one presents itself when doing the challenge. As Mat says, its just a motivational tool to chart your own improvment - just like a TT then - where you are really racing yourself.

    I would say that I think anything that is UCI road legal should be allowed for the challenge, though having said that a Zipp 808 set is a little cheeky and not really in the spirit of things (well, that and being out of most peoples price bracket).

    Right I am off to MTFU and see if I can manage another attempt this weekend (weather permitting).

    My first three lapper for a few months and pleased to knock 46 seconds off my time in Jan. Weather was great tonight but had a few hold ups particularly in the first lap.

    Best conditions I've ridden in this year I racked up 5 laps at a solid pace and got a little quicker every lap. Felt pretty good, but know when when my legs freshen up i'll go quicker... IP's time doesn't seem so far outta reach now :wink:
    17:19 16:50 16:52
    Still a fair bit of traffic out so lost a bit time every lap, and one of them Dynamo types latched onto my back wheel and had his spurt up the hills and then 500m over the top I'd go past him and he'd be on my back wheel until either Sawyers or Kingston Hill again and he'd do his hill thang. At least he didn't interfere with my session.

    So either I entered a Star Trek stylee time warp halfway up Broomfield or I'm getting better at this cycling lark. Beat previous p.b. by over 3 mins. The big change for me was doing it after work rather than before - I was able to get my heart rate up to more or less where it needed to be and keep it there. Guess it's a combination of a day's worth of food and not having to get up quite so early. I had an almost spiritual moment (!) down the bottom end of the park where all my effort seemed to result in forward motion - and that really doesn't happen to me very often...

    Question - better to take the hills in or out of the saddle? I'm trying it both ways - spinning a lower gear in the saddle or pushing a higher gear out of it - and it still doesn't feel like I'm getting the most out of the bike either way. Any ideas?
  • Goodness me conditions are good this evening... Shame I'm starving. Def a 'move up the table' night. But not on an empty stomach :(

    Get out there everyone...

    First go at this this year and was fairly happy. As noted above, conditions were really good and no traffic complaints as didnt get to the park until about 6.45pm.

    My best time, which I did about this time last year was 55:56 i think, so was pleased to be within a minute of that. Hoping to go below 54 mins this year, big ask, so we shall see!

    best of luck everyone.
  • First laps I'm prepared to post this year. Done about 6:50 on Thursday evening. Good time for it with the mythical tailwind up Swayers blowing and little traffic. Touch cold though and feet were pretty numb by the time I got home.

    About 4 minutes down on my PB from last year so some work to do...

    First attempt and it was a nice evening for it. A bit windy heading up Sawyers and got a bit held up by cars so could probably manage a bit more...

    Does anyone feel faster going clockwise at the moment?

    I've been doing 19:30 min c/wise laps recently - hardly setting the world alight, but it's with a backpack with work and clothes in, and I can't seem to to do this anti-c/wise without feeling dreadful.

    WTH? Wind direction?
    FCN 2-4.

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

    RedGreenBaron - really ought to do some laps with you some time. As we are both Barons Court based and v similar times.
    I've been so hopeless at checking the forum (I think it's less fun when you watch your name dropping down the list like a stone) that I've only just seen this.
    I'm gledstanes road - where are you? I would pm you but it never seems to function.
    I work from home so can get out during weekdays, very occasionally.

    Spasy :toppa:

    I used to post in the old RP thread when there were a few, er, leisure riders in the field. About to start a 25 mile round trip commute so I cannot see me finding the time to occupy the red lantern position.
