The Richmond Park 3-Lap Challenge

48x16 man, felt perfect for me.

so to rephrase my question(s) should I do this brakeless? if so what is the ideal cog (Gear ratio/GI) I should use with 48th chainring? Currently I have 15t and 19t (if I dig I may find a 17t)

If you managed to smash your face in with a brake, I'm slightly concern what would happened when there's no brakes in the first place.

Ed, I think you're failing to see that his smashed his face because of the brake.

yes I did, one hard squeeze with the levers, and bye bye front tooth.

Then...

Sorry guys, which segmant-lap are you taking in consideration? I did it anti-clockwise

Hmmm. Must try harder / bigger gearing.

ftfy

I cant wait to have a blast at this.

You coming on saturday morning?

still yet to actually time 3 laps. Wa'gwan saturday morning? I'm tempted to have a crack at it really really early, got a lot to do that day.

Well 1000AA is going at 7am, I'm probably joining him to avoid the crowds.
Not sure what he's doing but I'm probably going clockwise.

^ i think he said that about regents not richmond (I may be wrong)

Shit.

balls, he did.

Fuck regent's.

That.

Petition to close the park to cars on Sundays for the benefit of cyclists.
http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/40697

Just tried to sign it, looks like I did it before. Maybe it's been posted here already? Worth bumping though - bit of a pipedream, but wouldn't it be nice?

Probably not the thread for it but...

Not really. Sunday's would just become utter MAMIL wankerdom and there'd be far more tension between those kinds of riders and people who expect to be able to amble around in the car free environs. It's a park not a TT circuit.

There's also the problem of disabled and parent-with-child access, and whether you just want to shunt the entire parking problem to the residents of the streets nearby the park entrances.

I'd much prefer a petition to ban through (motor) traffic. Anyway, no chance of 100,000 signatures on such a local issue, but don't let me stop anyone from signing who wants to.

Personally I prefer using the park during the half of the year where cars are banned (between dusk and dawn). Hardly anyone around (just a few joggers) and easy to hoon around (averaging 20mph+, naughty me!) with good quality lights.

This. I'm rarely at the park before 8pm, its so much nicer. Yesterday was my first "in, round & out before the gates shut" though, summer is coming and 40 days of twighlight riding!

Don't bring logic and sensibility into it when a petition is involved, sheesh.

Putting my rubbish first go from early april, really need to give it a go again soon

Posting times that are "rubbish" are a bit of a slap in the face for those slower than you. Just sayin'.
