I'm in, don't have a helmet so a loaner until I can find one fashionable and comfortable enough would be grand...

Aye, I'm in too, in an attempt to keep off the beer belly.

Nice one Rob. Great idea. I'm in, although my attendance may be a bit sketchy.

Yep.

don't worry about attendences, I'm always going to be there (barring injury/illness) it would be nice to have 5-10 every week rather than 20 one week and 1 the next!

I'm sure it may get very boring for some people, but I also want to plan a few fixed rides out to kent for some hills (like we did on sunday) to break up the monotony

I'm in.

fixieist!

you might want to mention that although you'd like to simulate track riding, brakes are recommended as there will be some fast sections and peds/cars/deers to deal with.

oh, ill join you fixie peeps in some sessions. the earlier the start, the more likelihood of me turnin up....0800hrs starts? lets see if my 68 GI baby can get me up them richmond bumps

Will be there. Liking the idea of some structured stuff given that I have only just started training again after a long spell off the bike. Will be at the back though trying to hang on......

you are absolutely right.

RPM takes his training course a little toooooo seriously

HTFU ya girl!

that means you've put your name down wayno!

Don't forget your rollers

Don't forget the 20mph speed limit in the park chaps/chapettes.. wouldn't want to have to outrun the cops now would we?

Training Technique #43: Using police as motivation

Might see you there.. one day.. maybe.. ish

great that nothing like this got organised last year, when i lived right next to the fucking park, eh...

Yeah RPM waited until you'd left.. just to spite you.

I don't care about that, we won't be the fastest lot out there, but we will have the fastest legs!

i know, that much is clear.

mind you, him and me did some 'training' there last winter - spinning down one of the hills, neck and neck like a roller race. good laugh.

i might get up early and make one of these saturday sessions - i miss the park.

I'm up for this Rob and if it helps with the level two, even better.

I will make frequent appearances on this for sure

I would love to come along to this. Count me in.

If you're riding medium gears, you're going to be touching 30mph at times, and the fastest legs could get closer to 40mph.

The speed trap business seems to be happening more and more often.

Sessions with a compulsory gear in the 60" region could help (46x20, 42x18, etc)...

^ there was a radar gun in operation at about 8.45am on Sunday morning in RP.
