Richmond Park rides

[Origamist]

My legs felt a bit heavy today, but if the weather is good next week, I'll be around for a few laps.

only low 40's?? *must work harder* real thrilss come at 45+ 48.6mph is even better

Well!!! I wasnt pushing that much and am still not back to full fitness and my back wheel is still useless and inefficient plus we had a head wind... and I hadnt quite caught SD's draft... and my cleats are still broken..

Besides, you know Ill whip your young arse down a hill any day, boy! hehehe!

Yes, was good seeing familar faces and new! If only briefly.. (due to my lateness)

I do like a good ride around Richmond Park, but every Wednesday will interfear with my "Orange Wednesdays"... But not all the time!

 

[Davywalnuts]

Should be fine, but, Ill be there at about 7pm.. sorry, I dont finish work till 6pm...

Won't be able to join you as I want to get home before the kids go to bed. If you happen to see anyone on a sky blue Pearson Fixie, light blue 'Met' helmet (probably wearing an old blood-splattered rugby jersey) then that's me.

Will have to skip this week until I get my wheel sorted. Have a good one though!

Whats up with your wheel SD?

Stupid stupid stupid me!

Engeeeeerrrrrlund are playing Wednesday night! So sorry, no go for this now! Stupid me in forgetting!!

 

[Davywalnuts]

No probs.

If I'm on my own it'll mean I''ll be the fastest Cycle Chatter there instead of the slowest! Which will make a change.

And all those lovely ladies circulating the park too taking advantage of the men down pub! Lucky boy!

I don't think I'll be able to make this, but I'll let you know on Wednesday.

Hope you had a good break!

Went out of true on the FNRttC at the weekend. Did 45 miles incl. "that flint path" on it like this... It ended up a bit banana-fied

Need to take it to the LBS to get checked out sometime this week

I cycled to there for the first time today. 6 miles there, then a counter clockwise lap and then back....

I did the lap in 28 mins (analogue watch!) so will be looking to build on this...I needed my triple ring though (was on a hybrid, have ordered a road bike and waiting for that, hopefully the compact ring will be enough!).

this was at around 9am, bloody freezing

...in which case david, you'll be up for a big blast around several parks this coming Saturday - the "Park and Ride" ride - from Kings Cross. Get there early, and buy us all coffee!

nice one. I cant do it though! I have a swimming lesson in the morning (am learning front crawl properly with view to doing a triathlon next year, although I hate running!), and after I am heading up to my parents.....

next time!

 

[Aperitif]

Oh well...as long as you're in the swim... Have fun, take care!

Only just spotted this thread - wave if you see a yellow/ blue Spec steed with yellow bar tape and 'go-faster' Festina decals - am in there most mornings/ evenings. Usual lap is 22 minutes, haven't been sub 20 for a couple of years now.
