Regents Park winter laps

[martint235]

At least we'll be able to see the sights - at your riding pace anyway.
(PS - Don't want any 'blue tinted smoky focus' shots either!)

Or any of those dodgy "and then the pizza delivery man arrived" shots either

I'm not out tonight due to having to write a presentation on Neo-conservatives and Al Qaeda post bush/blair regime.

That sounds really interesting - can I have a summary version next time you make it out?

I'm working late tonight, still hoping to do a few laps (despite the nasty wind! grr) but won't be there until 7.30ish.

Anyone else riding tonight, perhaps around 6-ish? I'm interested, but I've already had a long week and have no desire to sit in the office too late, and if I detour via a pub my next destination will be home.

So, any takers?

I think I might have spotted you just as I was trying to cross the road at Gloucester Gate - didn't manage to catch you/them up though! Wind was pretty rubbish, only managed 4 laps before dinner and a hot bath called me home! (Also got fed up with being overtaken by Dynarods!)
Caught up with Mice and Dave before they headed off for a night ride along the river

Becs - That's a great emoticon for highlighting my enthusiasm for a night ride along the river...

It was fab - I have some pics (not as good as Topcat 1's) but will put them up later. Unfortunately I won't be going to Regents Park this evening as am a bit stuck in the office. If there is a suitable Saturday ride nearby (as in London nearby although can travel on a train) that anyone can recommend to me that would be great. M

Left work a bit later than planned, got to Gloucester Gate at 18:20. Did three laps in 30 minutes. No one will be suggesting I turn pro, but I'm pleased with my time, especially when one factors in the heavy hybrid with fat tyres. With the weather being so nice I almost regretted not taking the road bike today, but I'm trying to keep that as a 'weekend bike' until some point next Spring. 'Life' permitting, I'll be doing laps every Thursday evening, usually riding my silver & orange, flat barred Orbea Elorrio.

Got there at 7.45pm - the late finish sucked but the road was wonderfully quiet (car-wise anyway, still lots of carbon out that I couldn't keep up with!). enjoyed my 4 laps but it's definitely more fun in a group!

'Life' permitting, I'll be doing laps every Thursday evening, usually riding my silver & orange, flat barred Orbea Elorrio.

See you next week Andrij

 

[Becs]

Won't be out this Tuesday or next Tuesday, the powers that be say I have to take an exam next week

Should be out on Thursday though, weather permitting.

 

[karlos_the_jackal]

Should be out this thursday for quite a few laps probably as have to be up at 4 in the morning to go to berlin, so will be preparing to knacker myself out so i instantly go to sleep.

 

[Mice]

Just to say that I wont be there this evening but have it on my radar for Thursday. M

the calm before the storm

may do a couple of laps tonite then see the lights on oxford/regent st

 

[Andrij]

Ouch!

Back is giving me trouble, so no laps for me tonight (and no cycling at all today).

 

[BentMikey]

Quite a few of my mates do this, usually Monday and Wednesday evenings. Look out for the blue LondonSkaters club strip.

Sorry to hear that, maybe see you next week? Are you doing the fnrttc?

I'm hoping to be out tonight, apparently the rain should stop. Might have a few Dutch hills to contend with though! I'll be aiming for 6.30, unless anyone is coming that would prefer earlier/later?

 

[karlos_the_jackal]

I'm not out tonight now. I'll be right back on it next thursday though. Because its the only free thing i've got near payday!

 

[Becs]

Listening to the gale that's blowing outside my office I think I'm going to head to the gym instead tonight. Won't be out next Tues but will hopefully be about on Thursday for a couple of easy laps prior to Brighton fnrttc.
