The Richmond Park 3-Lap Challenge

Sorry I should have clarified, by traffic I meant London Dynamo

You have to set a new time or it's invalid I'm afraid. Forum rules.

Come to think of it, I've recently changed my username from skinny, so I should probably update the list.

Slowed by a lot of annoyingly placed traffic (inevitable) and some very cute baby deer.
First fixed attempt, ever maybe. 55:25 acc. Strava.

Slowed by idiot drivers not indicating on roundabouts.
No idea how you fixed guys do it so fast!

Strava link?

Why?

I had Strava running concurrently with my iPhone stopwatch and given that Strava says I did it in 55.56, I'm discounting the quicker time.

Another attempt, nothing changes. Bang on the hour 48x18. Weekday late mornings are such a treat around the park though, so lovely.

So is 6-7am a good time to ride around the park? Closed to traffic?

I'd say 8-9pm is better, a sunny Sunday evening being optimal. The gates open around 6:45am at the moment and rat runners quickly enter.
There are lots of groups in the park at that time too (me being in one of them) and it is rather busy if the forecast is good.

5am is dreamy. I miss living on the doorstep.

Yep 5am is the best time....maybe not the quickest but traffic free and generally amazing ( I should get out there more). 6-7 is still good but you do get some traffic so can be annoying if you're trying to do flying laps...

I did mine at 8pm.

Both of mine have been middle of the day slacker shifts shrug

Ever done it in a group of 20 in the dark with no lights?

think you replied to the wrong thread!

We don't need to know about your 'holidays'.

It was a proper forum ride. Back in the day.

Don't usually post but sort of had to after this morning
