Thursday Night - Hour of Power

Brave overtook me while I was driving.

Fuck! Was that you..

although it's a little off-topic, i did some evening laps of Regent's Park outer circle the other night, didn't realise there's basically no street lights! however, the darkness and my forgetfulness of headphones made it bizarrely meditative (or something). was good to have company from the beardy bloke on a fixed fuji too.very enjoyable awy to de-stress after shitty work

Hi, I was the beardy bloke on the fuji! Sadly my legs couldn't go for more laps in the other direction with you. Unfit due to being lazy over winter but much more enjoyable doing laps with someone! Will hopefully be up there in the morning again for a few laps

Damo recommended me the time crunched cyclist and I learnt a lot but if after that one you read racing and training with a power meter -that adoubletap recommended me - you learn a lot more

Erm, silly question alert. Do I actually need a power meter?

To ride around the park?

No.

a power meter hole nyohead?!

i read the book and even without a power meter it clarified loads of stuff that I didn't understand - i haven't finished reading it yet. I am no training expert so i found it an interesting read.

Thursday approaches.

If my legs stop hurting i'll come along.

Pain is no reason not to attend.

I'm going to kick you in the knee then just before the laps start ;)

Legs feel okay, should be out tonight.

It's looking more unlikely for me, might try and squeeze a midday one out of things :(

I should be there again this week. Weather is looking good.

I have failed completely :(

I'm going to parents' evening.

What time is this (laps not parent's evening)?

Fuck! Was that you..

I was gonna shout hello but having never met you I thought you there was chance you would take a swipe at the car or something!

PISSED! so wanted to ride tonight, but bloody working late!

What time is this (laps not parent's evening)?

6.30.

Are you about?

Just done ten miles around Surrey Quays. 22.5mph, tedious bit of wind on the drag back to the main road, slow traffic and lights getting back to the beginning of the quiet bit. Not as good as RP but acceptable due to its proximity and the laps are the same length.
Have fun tonight, peeps, it's lovely out.

Shall do that next time around.

dulwichrider posted about it some time ago, I think. Maybe in the track sub-forum.

Another Dulwicher, Rhys Keepence, one of my strava nemeses does it too. I stole the idea from his strava :)
