    Can't do it tonight, beer last night so opted to burn fossil fuels. Mind you, I might get close to a 13 minute lap on that.

    Usually any time from around 6.20 to 7 depending on work, when people are getting there

    Talking of the park has anyone done the figure of eight? crossing over at the school?

    School - what school? It took me over a year to realise it had a burger van in the middle. I try and avoid the middle of the park - feels dirty avoiding Sawyers or Broomfield.

    Figure of 8 would still take them in. Ride to the top of Ham gate and turn left if going anti. PAss the ballet school down to Sheen gate and turn right. Half a lap clockwise then turn right at Ham Gate, through to Sheen again and turn left this time.
    Does that make sense?
    I might fancy a lap on Thursday. Pint in The Roebuck as well?

    itboffin, occasionally but the middle stretch usually has lots of peds/joggers/kids/dogs/deer on it and isn't really suitable for going flat out on.

    Sort of get it but think I'll stick to the outside. ITB mentioned pintage after lappage on Thursday.

    Rob, sorry just picked this up, ended up leaving work at 5.30 so was at the park just after 6. Did a clockwise lap into the wind but blew up on Broomfield. Hope you didn't hang round for me.

    Got to the park at 6:30, waited for 10 mins and then did a ACW lap. The wind into my face from Robin Hood gate to Roehampton was a killer! Killed the lap, I think I just ducked under 19 mins but it wasn't pretty

    What time is the peloton setting off?

    Am reckoning 5.30, at the park at 6.10, 18 minute lap, plus 2 back up Sawyers means at the Roebuck for 6.30 thereby maximising drinking time.

    Or we could ride straight to the roebuck thereby optimizing our maximum drinking time ;-)

    I which case may as well go straight to Morpeth and start at 5.45.

    I'll get to the park from the Kingston sideshortly before 6, do a lap and a half and can get to The Roebuck by 6:30. If you stop at The Morpeth I suspect leaving may prove difficult. Be nice to meet you if you make it. How will I recognise you? Lycra carnation?

    Will be straight to the park for me - should get to Roehampton gate around 6.15-6.20. Reckon Roebuck is more likely to be 6.45. Combination of Carbon and Lycra.

    OK, see you there. Big red Kona Jake with rack and guards, maybe pannier. You'll probably pass me panting round the park.
