  • Mines got a flat tyre already so won’t make this week but hopefully next week if it’s a regular thing

  • nice. keen to show up if i can wake up

  • I may have also scuppered this plan for tomorrow.

    Got extremely cold doing our annual CBRNE inspection/ scenario today and now feel like death.

    Will have to see how shite I feel in the morning and may just do a gym session.

  • Ha! This explains why there was no forum skinsuit or fixie skidders this morning!

    Was out on the other silly look this monring (Will hopefully get the track bike built for next week session)

  • Hopefully with warmer weather, as this monring was cold AF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Yeah- I woke up pretty exhausted.
    Next week I'll not be so lazy.

  • apols, me too. i just couldn't drag myself out of bed

  • Id be up for some morning laps for sure, but having done a winter of a fair few early ones im keen to avoid the bleak freezing mornings so yeah when it warms up a bit would be awesome.

  • Excited for this. Seems we're all lazy and cold shy (except Ho) but could be a good bunch once it warms up

  • I’d be keen to join for a bit of this too.

    I’ve done my share of early / shit weather rides this winter and I always find come spring when you think you’re nearly there, I just can’t hack anymore of it.

  • I’m up for this, too. I have become an RP convert this year.

  • we're all lazy

    Hopefully this means we’re not smashing avg 35kph laps too

  • I've never done Regents Park laps before. How far is it round? And aren't there a couple of traffic lights in there?

  • 4.4km. Yes, but not a big deal and when you get a green lap it’s pretty special.

    I’d be looking for 7–9 minute laps.

  • Not sure I'll be doing many 7 minute laps but we'll see :)

  • my RP CCW PR is 7.15 - gears. Am I fast enough or will you all drop me?

  • I think you'll be dropping me

  • Had responsibilities this morning but may go and do some laps after work if I don’t do a Mott St loop. I’d be up for this next week, are most people fixed or geared?

  • Very much meant that as a range! I’m 7:30 on a good lap and 8:30–9 on an easy lap. Geared.

  • I have taken up fixed gear RP laps last year and it's just so much more fun. To the point of wondering why would one change gears in regents park ?
    also a better defence against MH wheelsuck : )

    anyway i bought a skinsuit from the mighty @amey, keen to try it... at least once

  • I'll be fixed- may need to up the gearing from my 70" currently though with all this chatter.

  • I’m happy to ride fixed or geared, but will be faster on the gear(ed).

    I’m running 48x17 on the fixed, but suspect I’d need a 16?

  • I'm quite often there despite now living SE.

  • Sounds like a decent justification to dig out the Sunday best fixed bike. Been a while since I’ve done anything other than A to B/beer related fixed riding

    It’s also 48x17, I should probably go and check out that I can get round in 7-9 without gears
