Thursday Night - Hour of Power

It was pretty busy tbh- got a bit shifty where bikes and cars were getting close.

Yeah, I was on the outside going past the bridge to avenue road and some twat in a jag nearly pulled into the side of me coming out of the turning. Gotta be eyes open when it's busier like that.

Anyone going to be there AM on thursday? Feeling like early morning rides are more appealing nowadays for some reason.

I think there's going to be really crappy weather tomorrow. Though I'm still happy to do a PM run if anyone else is keen?

Solo hour around 8pm last night. Very quiet.

Heading down for midday today if anyone wants to join?

I'll be doing laps this Thursday if anyone is around

Whats the best week night to do laps on regent?

Some times i go and its rammed others quiet as a mouse, never know what kind of a ride I will get.

6:30am is a good shout for laps

Hoke you know im too lazy to get up that early, I need a rest at the traffic lights anyway.
What about afternoons?

The only guarante is being the early bird!

Right. I am back in the UK after 4 years of NYs shitty cycle culture. Is this Thursday evening shit-show still going on?

!!!
In some forms, but not so much for me this year really. Mostly geared too.
The park will be considerably busier than you remember it.
@eyebrows is your man for some early morning pain as he's local, but things haven't been the same since he found proper employment.
Good to have you back.

I was actually thinking of a Tuesday morning session this week if anyone else fancies it?

Interested. I've spent the last week being miserable as I've pulled something in my neck and can't really move my head, but it's almost cleared up now and it'll be good to get out again. Don't really need to look left at the park anyway.
I need to see if the v2 skinsuits have landed at milltag yet too, then I have a legitimate reason to head in to town...

What time?

Nice to have @C.B. back to pull our legs off! Makes me want to buy a fixed gear bicycle.

I can't get there until 7:10 at the earliest I'm afraid, so can only manage 45 minutes or so. But nothing to stop people starting earlier!

you slacking brav?

'slacking' - no office days, but a lot of stuff to clear. Can definitely shuffle some hours to get an outing or two in. Can't go too heavy this week though as want my legs working when I land in Mallorca next weekend.

I land in Mallorca next weekend

😒

I put my back out for a week, managed one ride then put my neck out for a week. Despite mad gains in August, September was a waste and I'm not exactly in the right shape to make the most of the break now. Still, good for the tan lines.

Tuesday morning sounds good to me.

Will it be warm enough for skinsuits though?

As mentioned- it was chilly af this morning in mine with many layers underneath.
I can't really see myself doing many of these for the forseeable future (until August 2017)- as the 1.5hr each way commute regardless of format makes early mornings early enough.
However- I've got a few random days off- so will post them up as and when (eg next Monday) and would be keen to do some fixed laps.
