Richmond Park 3 laps sticky?

[Sittingduck]

I have never managed to do the full 3 consecutive laps in one direction... always get bored and start cutting through a different way or go in the other direction.

Well done on getting close to the hour though. Takes some doing, I can imagine!

So, I just got home after finally doing 3 laps in the same direction, after all these years
Started at Ladderstile gate and went ACW. Best I can tell from Strava, I clocked 58:22 - held up by traffic a bit because it was done at around 5-6pm, so pretty happy with the result. Means I can go another 5 years now without having to do 3 laps on the trot!

you'll need to go do it again, strava only shows you doing x2 consecutive laps as a segment. If it aint logged as a x3 segment, you didnt do it..

that's one segment, done 3 times... we need a "giro richmond park x3" or similar continuous segment

Those multiple lap ones don't make sense to me. How does Strava know if you have done it completely? It often tries to suggest I have done two laps when I had only done one...

Strava doesn't like enclosed loops, make the segment just short of one revolution and it will be fine

went to richmond park this morning to see how long would it take to do three laps on a (souped up) single speed bike. weather conditions were good, but got held up by traffic on the second and third laps (around 20s in total i reckon).
