Sat 5th April - London to Brighton 2 (Curse-free)

BTW Hippy fcuk your fast on that bike.

I'd send you a cheque for that comment but I don't know who you are.
Not allowed to be sociable when cough "training" you see? :)

I have attached a couple of pics from the ride. Hey 57 Miles in under 4 Hours I think we kick ass.
Stu

Shit, was it really under four hours? I thought it was a bit longer than that.

Bastards.
Anyone up for a brighton ride in June?
I'm also planning Coventry in May and Bristol later in May.

Shit, was it really under four hours? I thought it was a bit longer than that.

The riding part was.

We were probably travelling around 25-27 KMph on average.

Ditchling Beacon..

Cunt..

when did you grow whiskers hippo?

I get bored with my appearance and whisker up as a form of entertainment. I think it was when Sean Eadie was mentioned and I thought "hmm I haven't had a goatee for a while..".

@ hippy - 244rpm on the road? You racing on Monday night... (gulp)

Peak power of over 1000W?

I think the key is to ignore the min/max numbers and follow the averages. They're always the best indicators anyway.

Peak power of over 1000W?

That's not hard. Plus, have you seen the size of his legs?

Really disappointed to have missed out on this one. Looks like you had a cracking time, good stats hippy.

just to say thoroughly enjoyed the ride l's and g's. good to put that curse to bed (okay hippy b2l may be cursed but that is something else). big thanks from the wilkinson exchequer to cornelius for getting that slowy on the down to the sea. great vid slamm, big respect for some pretty high speed one-handed shooting.

under four hours ride time is pretty respectable and showed there was a couple of fast intervals in there.

and good to see a lot of new faces and some real nice bikes. brilliant turnout. catch you all soon. perhaps even on the way to southend on saturday.

Peak power of over 1000W?

Yeah. Seriously, most people on here could get over 1000W peak.
Well, it's easy for me, you skinny legged Lunduners might have to try harder :)

As Veeb says, it's more about averages. E.g. Threshold Power is what power output you can hold for an hour. This is quite important value for TT's and road races. Things like 1min peak power is important for bridging gaps or breaking away. Essentially, you collect as much data as possible and you will get a spread of power for different durations.
Higher power for shorter duration, obviously. The aim is to make these as high as possible and particularly to focus on the ones specific to your event. For me, threshold power is much more important than peak power (which would be much more useful for a match sprinter).

Coach and I are both new to all this stuff so I'm still really only collecting data at this point, not using it to train with yet..

Shit, was it really under four hours? I thought it was a bit longer than that.

when I first checked the bike puta in Brighton I commented that it took 4hrs 19 mins but forgot to subtract the 30mins it took for me to ride from Richmond to Hyde Park Corner , so yeah about 3hrs 50min I guess.

yeah great ride on saturday.

and slamm fantastic video. well done mate.
