The Richmond Park 3-Lap Challenge

Also, wtf would anyone time a run out in the current wind?

What's the weather like on Sunday? For once I'm not travelling to Norwich and my missus isn't coming up here, so I get to do all the things I like in peace and quiet: getting out on the bike, drinking tea, napping. I feel it's about time I improved my embarrassing time.

Hopefully, for my sake, it'll be at least a bit wet thus meaning you have to ride fixed and not that beautiful fair weather ride. Giving me an increased chance of not being last.

It looks wet and windy according to the BBC, so maybe I'll go and set a slow F lap to go with my slow G lap.

I could be up for a Norfolk in London laps on Sunday, depending on the heaviness of my saturday...

Yeah, let's do it! I'm doing Parkrun on Saturday, so I'll be a little sapped too I guess.

someone say laps on sunday?

Sunday is my long ride day- would need to clear it with the others but could aim to be over at Richmond for ~12ish? Or I could just do laps of the Park for 3 hours on my (forever al)own.

scrap that. im going to roll round regents park hungover on sunday

If anyone wants to come and do laps, the more the merrier - would be good to put some faces to names. Just drop me a text: 07974 918855. I'll probably be aiming for 11am or midday.

Sparky- you still intending on being there tomorrow?

Yep. I'm going to set a fixed time. Wanna come?

Yep, I'll be geared and not going for a time though.

=Skinsuits at the tailors.

If you see a green fixed gimme a shout

11am or so? I'll be on a Boardman CX bike running on slicks. Ugly.

Do I get a badge for being the slowest geared and fixed at the same time? A tortoise badge maybe?

You haven't seen my time yet, one second.

Is that leave home, travel to RP, do three laps, stop off at the office on the way home and get back in the front door within three hours?!

Didn't see you today, but assume I passed you at some point?

I was watching out for anyone fixed and spotted nobody, entirely possible that we were going around on opposite sides, I am sure someone clever can work out my time and stick it at the bottom of the table.

If you click on the "actions" tab above the map on Strava, then "crop", you can slide the end and start of the ride inwards.

I make it ~1 hour and 12 minutes
