    Somebody was flying round there tonight - passed me just after Roehampton roundabout going anti at about 6.30pm. No bags, so definitely not a commuter...

    More watts (or at least more evenly delivered watts) but not much quicker. Very pleased to hit the 350W benchmark though. Now to begin threshold work in earnest! Still nowhere near the main man though- nice ride IP.

    First go of the year - was on for sub-60 until the last part of the 3rd lap when got caught up in traffic and had to stop for owners letting their dogs run into the road :evil: Still, sub-60 should be on fairly shortly so relatively happy.

    Hi all, great to be back and some serious times already on the board well done!. Ive had a winter of eating pies and drinking beer (as such 3kg heavier than last year in blubber) and working my ass off at work. No reel structured training at all unfortunately but ive just got back on the bike since around 4 or 5 months or so, Excuses continue, very wet this morning at 730am, on my winter bike with winter city tyres, 2 or 3 hold ups.

    Last years personal best was 56.37 in September. Id like to at least get back to that and hopefully go sub 56 by the end of the summer.

    Went out for four laps this morning, so this is the time for the first three laps.

    Pretty pleased given the conditions. Rode myself into the ground on the turbo last night, too, so the legs were suffering out there.
    FCN 2-4.

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

    3-lap pootle rather than 3-lap challenge, but might as well set myself a target to knock down next weekend. Excuses include, but are not limited to: first time on the bike since October; using the cheap one I half-knackered last year rather than the shiny fast one that sits quietly waiting for Spring; several mins lost to traffic; and, crucially, really desperately unfit right now. Somewhere round 64 mins should be achievable by mid-summer, I'd hope.

    Not according to the front page news item
    Speed limits, though, are specific to motorists. “You aren’t acting illegally if you cycle at 25mph in a 20mph zone,” says Geffen. “However, ‘furious cycling’ is breaking the law, so if your speed is causing danger, you may still be stopped by police.” He recommends you always ride at a sensible speed for the situation and ensure you can stop in time.

    Furious cycling sounds a bit subjective and suppose the police have to prove you were causing a danger.

    No that news item is just wrong... or rather it's incomplete. Speed limits do apply to cyclists in Royal Parks, on regular roads they don't.

    As far as I am aware the relevant act for speeding in Royal Parks relates to vehicles and in other section of the act differentiates between vehicles and bicycles so I'm not sure you are correct;

    The Royal Parks and Other Open Spaces Regulations 1997,

    s(10) (a) ride any animal,
    (b)drive or ride any vehicle, or.
    (c)use any pedal cycle, roller skate, roller blade, skate board or other foot-propelled device.
    in any manner that endangers or is likely to endanger any person;

    but the speed limit is still defined as applying to a vehicle;

    PART II
    Speeds at which vehicles may be driven or ridden on a Park road
    1. On the Park roads in Bushy Park, Greenwich Park, Hyde Park (except for the Serpentine Road), The Regent’s Park, Richmond Park and St. James’s and The Green Parks, at a speed not exceeding...



    Anyone know the definitive answer?

    The relevant part is:
    (28) drive or ride any vehicle on a Park road in excess of the speed specified in relation to that road in Part II of Schedule 2 to these Regulations;

    Unlike the act which applies to the road which says much the same but has motor vehicle in it.

    Tickets are issued, and people pay fines, when you get one you're welcome to try and argue it in court I do not believe it's ever been tested but I don't think it likely that you'd succeed.

    As you're well aware I've no chance of getting a speeding ticket in RP :lol: .

    My view was the bit is s10 differentiated between vehicles and bicycle.I'll ask some of the KW plod or briefs - anybody on here actuallyhad a ticket?

    My 63:16 was done at 87% MHR for all 3 laps, with a nasty Westerly wind. I did a 63:55 on Saturday, but became grumpy with weekend drivers. So I went out yesterday looking to do some negative splits. Put in a 20:30 with an AHR of 85%. Was really zoned in and focused on upping it until I hit Broomfield when I got stuck behind a car, with a police car coming up the hill. I was stuck behind all the way down at 19mph and I just completely lost my rhythm and focus and conceded.

    On the following lap, I got stuck behind a train of cars just after Robin Hood roundabout. Some arsehole overtook at 30mph and then slowed down to 22mph. (S)he was constantly swerving out and threatening to overtake the cars ahead, and with traffic coming the other way, I couldn't overtake either and was about 10 yards back as I didn't want to catch a draft.

    AHR for the last two laps were 82% and 80%, and I finished in 63:19 - 3 seconds slower. In the absence of watts:
    3LC Time:      63:16   63:55    63:19
------------------------------------------
Sub-thresh:    27:58   26:38    24:29
Sup thresh:    18:09   14:22     5:42
VO2max:        5:23     7:08    00:54
------------------------------------------
Total in zone: 51:30   48:08   32:05

    Looks like conditions were good for a much quicker time yesterday morning. If only I hadn't sulked like a blouse! :(

    Hope to post another (and improved) time this weekend. Drag myself out of the bottom 5.

    Separately, would be interested to know the gradient of Broomfield Hill (only relevant for those doing the clockwise route)...if anyone has the data can you let me know:

    1 - the overall gradient;
    2 - the gradient by the road sign before you really hit the hill; and
    3 - the max gradient.

    Thanks!

    Using bike hike, about 8% average, 12% max, 4% at road sign. Other sites have given different figures though.

    @Furrag, thanks for the gradients...The max and at road sign sound about right and I suppose the average depends which points you are measuring from...

    Encouraged by the forecast easterly wind I decided to do my first 3LC since April last year and to try and set a sub 60 min effort on the road bike (PB 56:44 on TT bike). Well chuffed to have done that despite winter tyres, chilly weather, traffic hold ups on laps 2 & 3 and currently having a cold...... excuses, excuses lol
    Looking forward to hopefully setting a new PB come the spring on the TT bike :D

    Did the ride on the 21st with an Easterly wind, but couldn't post it till now with the forum being unavailable. Power not particularly good, but conditions just seemed very fast, it almost seemed like a tailwind all the way round.
    16:21 303W 171bpm
    16:41 290W 174bpm
    16:42 289W 175bpm

    That really is a stunning time for Feb! I know the conditions were clearly good with the wind, but it was still cold.

    Did this last Friday. Really great conditions out there -- as evidenced by TarmacExpert's gauntlet thrown down! -- which spurred me to do a third lap even harder than the second (I had only planned to do two) and as a result 6 min faster than a few weeks ago despite being a kg heavier, and the best hour on the bike I've had since September wattage-wise. In the top half of the list now (temporarily at least).

    Don't think I could go much faster now but I may be able to put out some more watts if I raise my bars so I'm more upright. I had pegged my FTP at about 210w these days based on effort/IF from various rides but now I'm kind of inspired to go out and see if I can break that. Just don't tell my midwife! :D

    Laps were:
    21:45 193w NP/176w AP
    21:09 202w NP/185w AP
    20:44 213w NP/199w AP

    From Friday. Conditions pretty good (light wind, not much traffic, on the good bike). Slightly disappointed not to break 55min.

    Went out for a nice and steady four-lap ride, so the above time is for the first three laps. Loads of traffic hold ups so pretty pleased with the time as it's a three minute improvement on my attempt three or so weeks ago.
    FCN 2-4.

    "Exactly."

    Seing what was achieved on Friday, a bit shamed-faced to post this time from my labours on Sunday, but thought with all those LDs in the top half of the table good to add another KWer .
