Just got back from RP (my first visit) - what an awesome place! As a Newcastle (NE) refugee, I didn't know it existed. Only found this thread when I got back.
I didn't do any full laps (but will next time) - had a great day, 25miles on SS MTB, 2.1" knobbly tyres, 69" gear (34x12 on 24"wheel) went CW from Roehampton Gate, but got tempted by some off-road action after passing 3 geared bikes on the sharp climb after R.Hood Gate. 3 x offroad 5 mile loops and then the rest of the road lap. Got lucky with an indicated 32mph top speed on the way out approaching the Police. Only saw 2 fixed pedallers.
Great place, next time I'll time a 3 lap run.
