    Managed 3 laps in 60 minutes (Starting Roehampton gate through to Richmond...) dead on Sun 21st April 2013 @11:00am+ on my jack jones ! Needed to be pushed which at one point London Dynamo did but i was all on my own and had to slow a little for Deer and life saving manoeuvres against auto-mobile objects ! Was lovely conditions. Coincidentally i am 80kg and ride an ally frame/carbon fork road bike. Not sure if i've posted correct as this is my first post as i'm new to this forum :-)

    Well - I haven't been on a bike much for 8/9 days dues to crazy workload and cold. I am getting over the cold.

    That's over 2 minutes faster than my previous fastest this year! And not in ideal conditions really - lot of traffic, reasonable wind etc.

    There will be a trail of snot around the whole park now though - so take it steady for a couple of days.

    Pleased with that - only around 15 seconds slower than my fastest ever 3 laps.

    I am sure Lemsip does contain banned substances - but it sure does work wonders!

    So after having procrastinated in doing this little challenge, I set out to do it today. Did 3 laps at tempo pace, so could've gone much faster. ;) Quite a windy day, slowed down for a herd of deer and a bit of traffic - but at least I've got a time up now and it's something to improve on. :)

    Near perfect conditions and only slight delays with traffic coming down the hill to Robin Hood gate so that's pretty much as good as it gets at this stage. Three laps of 19.54, 19.56 and 19.53 so I'm pleased with the consistency, beating evens speed and getting under the hour. I'll give it a go with my carbon Mekk later this summer - it'll be interesting to see what advantage the technology gives.

    One Etape Caledonia and the best part of 3 teetotal weeks appear to have made some impact. Around 20 secs off my PB from a couple of years ago and close to 8 mins off my best this year. Conditions were, it must be said, about as close to perfect as I have ever known.

    First ever attempt at 3 laps and only the 3rd/4th & 5th laps of the park. Also attempted at midday on a Sat, so traffic was a little slow at times. More of a benchmark though so hopefully should be able to break the 1 hour by mid summer.

    Warning: rather large speed humps being installed between Richmond and Ham gates :(

    No traffic management so long queues getting past the works this morning.
    I may be a minority of one but that doesn't prevent me from being right.

    Yes - was there a couple of nights ago - 2 sets of bumps (1 near car park where there was always one and 1 further down - new?). Did not look overly vicious (I hope).

    I gave up on laps with the traffic queues and did some hill intervals instead.

    4 mins faster than best this year, 1/2 min faster than all-time best (67:36, Summer 2012)
    Light wind, some traffic but generally good run
    Still aiming for holy grail sub-60, still determined, still a long way to go.

    Couple of guys on aero wheeled tt bikes overtook me like I was standing still! Jealous! Some amazing times again this year - v inspiring - simply can't see how its physically possible to do in 46 mins?...

    Back in 2005, I couldn't get under 22 minutes for 1 lap, now my best lap is under 15 minutes. You just have to stick at it and keep looking for ways to make your training more effective, and for ways to go faster for the same power.

    Thanks for posting that - incredibly encouraging. I'm sure I couldn't expect anything like that scale of improvement, given that I'll be in my late 50s by the time I've been cycling for 8 years, but stuck at about 24 minutes as I am at the moment, it does make me think that I stand a chance of modest improvement over the next few years.
    Is the gorilla tired yet?

    First go this year, in fact probably for a couple. Target still sub-56. I will get there one day.

    Conditions perfect, although I couldn't, for the life of me, work out wind direction.

    Definitely terrific conditions tonight. Thought it was likely to be fast, so went out with my full TT race kit to go for the 3 laps max effort. Got noticeably slower as the air cooled down, but don't think I could have started any earlier and got a clear run. Pretty much timed it perfectly to finish just as it was getting too dark to be safe in terms of spotting deer by the road, and got more or less a clear run for all 3 laps.

    Darn i hoped it was my going fast and that the conditions were slow :wink:

    Classic easterly tonight, Roehampton to Richmond Gate has the tailwind and is quite exposed, especially as you go up the bank. Main bit where you head a bit easterly is between Kingston and Robin Hood gates but you go more north-easterly than easterly and the trees do a good job of blocking the east wind. Thats my analysis anyway :D

    Regarding being busy, i was there 7.15 and 8.15 and got held up by traffic quite a bit, maybe i was unlucky.

    No chance at that time, far too early IMO. I started my 3 laps at 8:52pm. Did 2.5 laps first to warm up, and they would have been awful for getting held up by comparison.

    Wow, thats later than i would have thought of going. Normally i choose to try on Sunday evenings when everyone has generally done their stuff earlier on and at 7.30 are off home, or on a dry, cloudy, windless day when conditions are good but no-one really wants to go there to look at the deer, etc.

    Reasonable conditions Sunday evening, wind roughly right direction although little cold for a 'summer' evening. Minimal traffic, although did have to almost stop for a big deer on second lap. Reasonably happy with effort, won't bother listing various excuses, but confident can go substantially quicker than that.

    Going great yesterday late afternoon, 2 good laps (for me) of 22.30 and 21.54 until i get both front and back tyres wrecked by some broken glass. Bugger.
    Life isnt like a box of chocolates, its like a bag of pic n mix.
