Regents Park laps, Tuesday 12th

[ianrauk]

Sounds like you are really enjoying it already... I did say you would didn't I?

I'm really looking forward to seeing it.

My-Ice-Sprint is fantastic. It doesnt wobble, I can let go of the handle bar to indicate without falling off, I can lean forward to look out for traffic - and I happily pedalled my way to Regents Park on my own! Truly it's fabulous. And I think I might be a bit faster in my pootling. Cant wait to be out there again! I had a ball and look forward to the next one! M

Congratulations! So pleased to read this. Good riding back from town with you yesterday, and very nice to have met David @ Laidback.

Sorry I missed the Regents Park ride. I had wife/baby/toddler/bottle of red to attend to. I think I still have the wife/toddler/baby bit. The bottle too, but all the red has gone(?)

Nice but I'm sure last time I saw your bike it only had 2 wheels

Do we have any lap times to beat next time? Or was it a case of how many times did Abs lap everyone else

It was a good pace set by Becs. I only blipped quicker when I had to due to a car I was "in the way of". Rather nice ride and surprsingly busy! We had a bit of a tight squeeze when a car coming the other way was over taking a cyclist and a parked cars door suddenly swung open when myself and Becs were riding shoulder to shoulder.

I'd suggest that people wait by the railings of Gloucester Gate and pick up the riders when they pass. Only because I kept everyone waiting last night by being 20 minutes late.

EDIT : Oh and Mice-o-chick's trike was lovely and she was grinning from ear to ear whilst riding around the park.

Good plan. Although the view from the gate was pretty good! (of the nice bikes of course)

Shall we say 6.30 again or can people make 6?

 

[zimzum42]

No chance of my making 6 really, I doubt...


Long term, the alternative is doing early mornings, but that's not so sociable, then you're into training territory...

I could do 7, traffic will be quieter then . . . . .

I'm happy for half 6 or 7 really.

Ah now mornings would mean I don't have to stay at work until some stupid hour (ie after 3.30pm)

How early would these mornings have to be for people? I'm not very good at waking up early!

3am for me

Mornings?!

18:30 is good for me. Means I don't have to get into work early and there isn't often chance I can actually leave early anyway.

Come on Miranda, share pics of the new wheels.....

Trallaaaaaaaaa! (Although better in real life!)

I'll be a gloucester gate at 6.30pm. We can pick up any late comers on the way round, as Abs suggested. I'm up for a good hour or so - need to burn off last night's thai food!
