Richmond Park 3-lap Challenge 2011

What's RP like during the week after work - is it rush-hour hell? When does it tail off in the evening? Or is there a point before dark where it's closed to traffic?

I arrived in there last night around 7:15pm and it was still quite busy -- very busy with cyclists especially ACW, somewhat busy with cars. Within an hour it had cleared considerably of both, still half an hour before sunset and long before the deer get on the roads. So there's time to get a good 3LC done between the last big influx of cars/cyclists but before it gets too dark.

@pinkbikini - was that one of the London Dynamo training rides you got dropped from? Just out of curiosity, what sort of lap times do those guys record?

Re evening rides, I started around 6.30 last week, first lap was terrible with traffic, found myself freewheeling for large parts of it. Traffic seemed to thin a lot over the next lap and I had a pretty clear run for the third (I had to stop for deer crossing the road but that's OK - its their park!) - lap times were 17:50, 17:38, 17:37. I think I'll aim to start around 7 next time and hopefully be able to get three good laps in.

Yes Mat, was a LD training ride. The group is mainly accomplished 2nd Cats and they were doing sub-16min laps. Although of course they were sticking to 20mph the whole way.

I don't find that later in the evening is that much better - you can still get stuck behind cars that are going just a few mph too slow. I'm not a big fan of overtaking or drafting cars in the park.

Did a 3 lapper. First in about 4 years I think. Not great due to getting stuck behind a 20mph police car down Broomfield on first lap. And feck it was windy. Anyhoo:

I thought it was about time I gave the 3-lap a go. I done this last friday - 6th May - but have only gotten around to posting now. Exhaustion?

I tried twice before. First time was a case of "initial" over-enthusiasm followed by a chickenly DNF. Second was a puncture with a quarter mile to go. I'm delighted with 58:03 - evenish laps - considering I couldn't break 20mins for one lap last year.

Aiming low for the summer... sub-58 and I'll be a happy man!!

Head wind up Sawyer Hill hampered a faster time, it seemed i was the only one braving anti clock.... All good fun though.

Freeza

I've been reading about this challenge on here for the last 2 years, finally had the opportunity to try it yesterday.

Having never ridden Richmond park before I started from the bike hire shop near Roehampton gate and set my GPS lap marker point. Plan was to do 1st lap to familiarise myself with the terrain then push it on laps 2 & 3.

First lap, left onto Sawyers Hill (anticlockwise) and one brutal headwind had me pushing harder than planned just to make headway. Head down and paced myself, out of the saddle on the slight incline then eased down to turn at Richmond gate. It was here I noticed the strange road surface, rough yet smooth in the car tracks. Pulled over just past Richmond convinced my front tyre was deflating. It wasn't so I pushed on.

Queen's road, lots of cars but made decent progress. Missed the turn at Kingston gate and was shooting out of the park. Circled the roundabout and onto Dark Hill. Short and not too steep so out of the saddle all the way up.

Broomfield Hill - what a blast! A car in front was holding me up so couldn't let it fly (what happens if the police catch you speeding?) then back to Roehampton.

Lap time 24:19 - not great but not unexpected.

Second lap, knowing what to expect I hit Sawyers with more purpose - and the headwind hit me! Definitely blowing harder, it's a real grind and I slow to a crawl on the incline. Thankfully make the turn at Richmond and into the drops on Queen's Rd. This time I'm passing cars and bugs are hitting my cheeks like airgun pellets.

Make the turn correctly at Kingston then onto Dark Hill again but this time something's wrong. Grinding into that headwing has left me burned and I struggle to climb, then the first twinge of calf muscle cramp announces itself. I'm 2 cogs from my lowest gear, out of the saddle and this time it's hurting. I briefly contemplate stopping but push on knowing I can recover descending Broomfield.

No cars on Broomfield this time; big ring, into the drops, 32mph and rising.. is that loose gravel I see on the bend? Not sure if it was the sunlight hitting the surface but bricks were shat and I feather the brakes for the remaining descent.

Try to make up time on the final stretch from Robin Hood but cramping up big time. Hard push for my marker point, Garmin finally bleeps the lap.

Lap time 24:53 - slower that the first.

Cramp in my calf and lower back, knew I didn't have another lap in me so gave it up and went home. Extrapolating my times places me dead last on this board. I'll be back to try this again when the winds die down - great fun.

tl;dr - two laps, DNF

Cumulonimbus

Ah, the headwind up Sawyers has seen the death of many a 3LC bid! Easy to push yourself too hard trying not to lose time into it judging by my experience.

Not sure how much cycling you do and what intensity but i have found my first 3LC of the season normally involves some sort of cramp and a bad back, just not used to the effort. These should be less of a problem with another effort or two

ajh18

What a difference getting out in an evening makes, rather than battling traffic mid-afternoon at the weekend. Having almost no wind also seems to help.

First goal for the year - sub-65 - now sorted, despite getting a bit of cramp at the start of the 3rd lap and spending a minute or so hopping up and down at the side of the road. Time lost doing that was slightly offset by a spot of fairly unavoidable drafting on the 2nd lap, due to the number of other people heading the same way at a similar pace. Now, if I can become a bit less hopeless at going downhill and round corners I might get somewhere near 60 mins before the end of the summer......

Enjoyed clearer traffic this time. 7pm start time was not bad for traffic...cleared noticeably on 3rd loop.

Differences today were getting back up to speed immediately following the climbs and trying to maintain speed through the corners. Not sure what target to set myself now!

I've been reading about this challenge on here for the last 2 years, finally had the opportunity to try it yesterday.

Having never ridden Richmond park before I started from the bike hire shop near Roehampton gate and set my GPS lap marker point. Plan was to do 1st lap to familiarise myself with the terrain then push it on laps 2 & 3.

First lap, left onto Sawyers Hill (anticlockwise) and one brutal headwind had me pushing harder than planned just to make headway. Head down and paced myself, out of the saddle on the slight incline then eased down to turn at Richmond gate. It was here I noticed the strange road surface, rough yet smooth in the car tracks. Pulled over just past Richmond convinced my front tyre was deflating. It wasn't so I pushed on.

Queen's road, lots of cars but made decent progress. Missed the turn at Kingston gate and was shooting out of the park. Circled the roundabout and onto Dark Hill. Short and not too steep so out of the saddle all the way up.

Broomfield Hill - what a blast! A car in front was holding me up so couldn't let it fly (what happens if the police catch you speeding?) then back to Roehampton.

Lap time 24:19 - not great but not unexpected.

Second lap, knowing what to expect I hit Sawyers with more purpose - and the headwind hit me! Definitely blowing harder, it's a real grind and I slow to a crawl on the incline. Thankfully make the turn at Richmond and into the drops on Queen's Rd. This time I'm passing cars and bugs are hitting my cheeks like airgun pellets.

Make the turn correctly at Kingston then onto Dark Hill again but this time something's wrong. Grinding into that headwing has left me burned and I struggle to climb, then the first twinge of calf muscle cramp announces itself. I'm 2 cogs from my lowest gear, out of the saddle and this time it's hurting. I briefly contemplate stopping but push on knowing I can recover descending Broomfield.

No cars on Broomfield this time; big ring, into the drops, 32mph and rising.. is that loose gravel I see on the bend? Not sure if it was the sunlight hitting the surface but bricks were shat and I feather the brakes for the remaining descent.

Try to make up time on the final stretch from Robin Hood but cramping up big time. Hard push for my marker point, Garmin finally bleeps the lap.

Lap time 24:53 - slower that the first.

Cramp in my calf and lower back, knew I didn't have another lap in me so gave it up and went home. Extrapolating my times places me dead last on this board. I'll be back to try this again when the winds die down - great fun.

tl;dr - two laps, DNF

haha that was brilliant, it made me chuckle out loud! Looking forward to the next installment.

Freeza

Hopefully the next installment will be something like " Went to park, did 3 laps in a decent time, went home".

Richmond Park really is a beast compared to my usual stamping ground of Regents Park. I went unprepared, now I know what's what failure is not an option :twisted:

Freeza

Cross wind on Sawyers became quite a stiff headwind going down Queens Road. Heavy gusts almost had me at a standstill once or twice. Stopped twice for deer crossing the road and dropped the chain once.. but all excuses. Glad not to be propping up the bottom of the table (but very close). Knowing the terrain helps a lot as you can guage when you need to dig deep and where you can ease up yet maintain momentum.

Early mornings are the best for this, left home at 5:30 and back by 7. First 2 laps traffic free!
South Westerly wind made Sawyers hill hard. I know how much better I can do in still conditions, better still with a northerly wind. I guess Saywers hill is unsheltered, so you get the full brunt of the conditions. I will do some analysis of previous laps, but I reckon a head wind at that point can add 60 seconds per lap easy. Any thoughts?

My goal is sub 52. Probably need to lose a few kg though!

I did a couple of laps at the weekend and looking at the comparison shows that the headwind on Sawyers hill can indeed cost in excess of 1 min. At the weekend, it was exactly 5 mins along that stretch, this morning it was 6. The rest of the lap was virtually identical. I wonder what a good tailwind would do!

Climber_Andy

Moved to the area a few months back and had been tapping round the Park without testing myself - till Saturday afternoon, that is.

It was a case of flying the first half of the park, then grinding up Sawyer's Hill into a nasty wind. An impromptu deluge halfway through the final lap, just as my legs were screaming over the lip of Sawyer's didn't make things any more pleasant.

Paced it pretty decently, 23-21-21 for the three laps. Down near the bottom of the list, but with no training behind it, plenty of room for improvement. Let's see what a summer of riding can do, sub-60 on a float day is possible, I reckon...

Hello

I’ve been stalking this thread since 2008 so it’s about time I joined in.

Hadn’t intended to go for a time last night but pretty good evening for it though I got held up several times by traffic and carved up by the Dynamos – but then it is their park. Pleased with the time given I wasn’t really trying ha ha. 56.03 anti with 158 average HR, a little short of my PB from last year of 55.25/ 167 av HR but there should be some improvement to come.

Anyway, for now....

Traffic was a complete pain for the first 2 laps with complete stops at 2 roundabouts and braking on the two main descents.

Lap3 was a bit better although i had to take to the grass(all safely done:D) at one point as a car stopped to let a long line of traffic (opposite side) go through and i really wasn't in the mood.

Times respectively: 18:23 18:32 18:15. I think if the traffic hadn't been so crap I could have been easily in the 54:**'s....... Until next wekk

Good lad, was that on a road bike or a tt bike though?!

TT bike. From a standing start.
