Richmond Park rides

Is there a Cafe in the park?

Indeed there is
Clockwise from Roehampton gate - 150 yards from the small roundabout!

Forgive my incredible ignorance but what or where is IWM?
For future ref of course.

Oh yes, I remember now! I've never stopped there, or at the other way near Richmond Gate. Well, when I cycle late night i've never seen them open! Probably rip-off prices anyhow..

 

[Sittingduck]

Cost me almost 4 quid for an ice cream and a bottle of coke... The healthy option

I have only ever once purchased such nicities from there once, as above. Too expensive for my tastes

TDr1nka: IWM is apparently the Imperial War Museum, which is nowhere near Richmond Park, as far as I know!

Ah ha!

That's where Origamist hides all day!

 

[Sittingduck]

Polishing his cannons presumably

I work a few hundred meters from the those big IWM guns - but I do have aspirations to be a Churchill impersonator, if the recession really starts to bite...

If it's really wet tonight, I'm bailing. Lets see how the weather goes!

 

[Sittingduck]

Will check here about 5pm then. Hope to see you later....

Dark clouds, but no rain yet.

Met office is showing a heavy downpour at around 7pm, but not lasting for too long.

I think I will be bringing up the rear today after I went on a 25 mile detour home last night. Lot's of it up-hill and into a headwind, I was struggling this morning (excuse number 2 )

 

[Davywalnuts]

I've had dark cloud over here all day and where I am , on the 3rd floor, I have seen dark clouds all day in the surrounding areas, but no rain.. still!

Bring up the rear?? dude!! lol!

 

[Sittingduck]

I'm leaving the office now for my 6 mile commute home. Will post a reporter's update on the situation within the hour

And don't listen to Luke about his hill climbing... he knows full well I will be last

 

[Davywalnuts]

Your leaving now? Bet you start early! Cool, same here..

Well, it could be me too after my homemade spagbol lunch... We could always see who's the slowest uphill... hehehe

I'll start my making my excuses for slowness - the missus was out tonight so I went for a swim - now she's not going out and I'm sh4gged.

How long do you take to do a lap/how many laps? I'm trying to gauge what time I can get back home.

I have no idea where this café is at RH gate but I'll have a look for a group of loitering riders - keep an eye out for my grey/red Scott.

currently heavy cloud moving fast. I don't mind the odd shower but if it's lashing I'll wimp out.

 

[Davywalnuts]

My best lap time is just over 20 mins.. But normal 25-27... Laps, well, were see I guess!?

Through Roehampton Gate, take a right, you wont miss it.. Ta!

I am on the same sentiments too!
