Thursday Night - Hour of Power

Going to be doing laps tonight (not on a brompton), will swing by the inner circle at 6.30ish if anyone is around.

on your cross bike? see you there. went there on tuesday, there was a lot of black cabs, even saw one cab doing a u turn and t-boning another cab. I lol'ed, they gave me looks. hope it's less busy tonight.

erm... no

Frieze Masters takes place 17–20 October 2013 in Regent's Park

Yeah, they have temporary lights and barriers everywhere - plus a Taxi queueing system. It was chaos last night even at 10pm...

^ this, fucking horrible to ride in regents atm, wouldnt recommend swains repeats either as highgate hill west has road works going on and has single lane traffic queues. I attempted both on tuesday evening

ah cheers for the heads up, i'll leave it for this week

That's the spirit :)

6pt are you just playing video games this days or what?

.

spent half an hour farming one of the short bike races for cash but xbox crashed and no idea what saved, so not keen to go back on for a bit

ah cheers for the heads up, i'll leave it for this week

Why not try? Heath Extension?

I went for a ride with Oli the other day and had to call it short after 8 miles because my body was dying. So yup.

My schedule has just altered so I will be looking to do this on the odd Thursday through the winter. Atm I think I can hold about 19mph SS for an hour, hopefully a bit more geared. That sort of pace you lot are looking at?

Pace varies dramatically depending upon who's there, but people tend to find others who are going same pace.

DId some lap this morning instead, need to do that more often; lovely and quiet.

Yeah it is mayhem around Regents Park right now due to a Freize Fair. There will be an accident very soon.

I would just steer clear of the whole thing if I were you. Will be finished by the end of the week.

It's on my route home can't avoid it really.
I came across a bloke dragging his terrified little girl across the road whilst on the phone yesterday. He had no regard for the safety of anyone. Don't think he even had a clue I missed them by inches.
Taxis doing random three point turns. Bentley convertibles doing fuck knows what. Lack of proper street lights.
People leaping out from the shadows.
Mayhem

I ride regents park quite alot but would be good to ride with a group. I am going to come tomorrow after work to join for a ride, are gears welcome? and for 7pm?

Thanks,
James

I think I'll be there. Gonna buy some new lights and tyres now, so will be good to give them a try out. Will be on a red and black merckx roadie, for 7, at the york gate on the inner circle.

So I rocked up 20 minutes late due to a puncture, no one at york gate except a slightly strange looking bunch of yoga-ists, and duly spent the next hour hooning around with people I didn't know. Was awesome. Forgot how fast it feels at night.

Ahhh man, I waited for a while. Ended up riding with a bunch I didn't know. Want to try again next week?

Ah well. Yeah, want to be there next week, so long as work allows it.

At the risk of taking over this thread, anyone riding tomorrow? Weather looks good.

yeah im going, will be there 7ish, will swing by the gate on the way through

Fucking LOLz

They're an odd bunch. I've got one on my Strava after I rode with him for a few evenings; they do 60 mile sessions sometimes. They don't hang about either, they've pushed me quite comfortably out of the top 10 lap times now, so hrumph.
