Upgrade.

Whats the deal with this thread, it need moderating every time the list is posted?

Wearing plimsolls & baggy shorts, with my saddlebag rack on a 1961 Claud Butler, with much headwind and much traffic (all the excuses in early), I am glad to announce a debut anticlockwise time of 1.10.30 (G).

Happy to prop up the table - gives me something to aim for.

So, anyone who understands internet know if/how this list can work in microcosm land?

As @Velocio suggested someone should make a google spreadsheet of this ..

As @Velocio suggested someone should make a google spreadsheet of this ..

Well volunteered.

:P i could do it at some point next week maybe ..

I had a quick attempt but soon realised I was in over my head

I had a stab at it but my copy / paste strategy didn't want to preserve the links or icons.

I can send you the fully version howard as I was the last person to post the list before the move? PM incoming.

Went and had a shot at this today. First two laps were good- just under 18 mins each. Then had an entire lap of slow cars. So angry by the end. No strava/official time, as I deleted the ride data from outraged pettyness.

Next week...

58.40 on a very wet,windy and slippy Tuesday night

http://www.strava.com/activities/179327243/segments/4192229905

Have a couple of hours spare on Saturday so I may try for a few laps (fixed).

4 laps but the first one was interrupted by a puncture (just at the top of the Dark Hill climb, glad it was there and not on the Broomfield Hill descent) and a split tyre. Thought this might happen (I'd seen a hole in the tyre before setting off and couldn't be arsed to change it) so I had a spare folding tyre with me, swapped it over and carried on but it delayed me 15 minutes.

Subsequent 3 laps showed no improvement on previous time; still fat, slow and unfit. But I have a baseline for my fitness data.

Will have a regular bash at this (#euph) every Friday from now on. Ideally 6 laps.

I think the best way to approach this is to do single laps very fast to begin with clock or anti on weekdays after/before work. Once you know which one is faster have a stab at 3. Never on a weekend.

Oh for that kind of free time.

My fastest 3 lap times were always done in summer around sunrise (yes, this meant starting at about 4.30am to 5am). There are very few people/cars in the park at that time plus, as a bike, you can get a head start as you've got 24 hour access to the park (deer culls excepted).

Nighttime laps were also good, just have to avoid the suicidal deer and badgers (the majority of joggers are well lit/hi-viz). Just need good lights (I miss my Solidlights XB2).

Another 4 laps, slight improvement on last time (2m30s knocked off) but still not faster than earlier this year. Won't be long though, just have to keep shedding the weight.

Thought I'd give this another go tonight. I think my last attempt was something like 4 years ago. Anyway, I managed 55.44 although I have no proof as I don't have Strava or a Garmin, etc. Very happy with that!

Anti-clockwise / from the cafe / Fixed, 81" (48x16) / quite a few cars.
