The Richmond Park 3-Lap Challenge

That's the point. Same effort + aero bike = ~2-3min over 25mi.
Maybe less, factoring in conditions on the days.

2-3 minutes over 25 miles is quite a lot though. Is that your point?

Sorry Andy. I've consulted the internet and it's definitely CX.
Observed Trials is a close second but as you ride over the tiny obstacles it places higher.

You're weird though. CX is the strangest of all cycling activities.

what about trials riding, or anything involving scoble?

Y'all haven't seen shit;

It's not really when the spread of times for these events is something like 30min and the finincial investment is into the thousands of £££. Who cares if a disc buys you 30s when there's people many minutes faster and you've not actually improved. That's my point.

I've ridden trials but not CX, therefore CX is weirder.

You commute through London - isn't that technically CX by it's definition?

No.

I never jump off my bike to run through a muddy bog stacked with planks of wood.. so.. no.

No dead turns either?

this thread keeps getting better... If you guys put this much effort into proper racing, instead of aimless dick swinging, you'd probably all be Cat 2's by now!

Says the experienced racing cyclist.

Ha!

No dead turns either?

Only when I see money on the road. :)

my effort has been one attempt at 3 laps of the park

also i really don't want to race - too much risk involved (ego, damage to self or bike)

You've broken the list. This makes me sad.

I know /fail tried to edit it but I don't understand this web shenanigans

are there any women's times on the list?

Bollocks. Wheres the harm in having a good natured challenge with mates? The vast majority of the people on this thread have no interest in racing. Its not obligatory to get a race license and wear lycra if you have an interest in beating times over a course.

Besides, perhaps all of this aimless dick swinging is getting us faster and fit and one or two of use might decide to race in the future.

This. I've been to a few cat 4 races and was stunned by the level of even more aimless dick swinging there. I shudder to think what it is like in the other cats.

This is why I'm happy just to continually try to get faster by challenging my mates instead.

This thread just keeps on giving. That's comedy gold right there ^^^

What are you waiting for? show us what you're made of!

Saucy bastard.

I'm at a dilemma for tomorrow's run, take the surly porteur, or my 12 speed road bike?
