Nice efort Timmyflash! In my brief foray into the park this morning, I reckon it could well have been the best conditions there for quite some time. Hope the Dynamos and others enjoyed it! Set yourself a target to acheive on your sirrus before upgrading - say 63 minutes, then you get a reason to improve!

As for me, well I will be spending my time hammering the roads around Ottershaw trying to get a little bit quicker in time for Hillingdon winter series. Next RP 3 lapper will be on the 2010 leaderboard as its too far to make a regular trip to that often.

Same with me! But only 'cos I appear to be 30watts off my best, and see little hope of that changing, I still have no excuses for not going there and trying to get a time.

Made my first visit early this morning since they upgraded/screwed up the road surface.
What the hell have they done? I found with sawyers Hill i had to either ride in the car tyre tracks but as this is on a camber it lead you into the horrible stuff on the left or I just rode near to the centre line.


Coming down Broomfield must have been my slowest speed in Daylight for a longtime. Just tipped the speedo over 40kph when i usually hit around 53kph. Not at all happy.

"The last time I tried on my fixie I was down in the 63s but I suspect using a 48x16 didn't help. What ratio are you using?"

49*16.

with a 32kph limit, I don't think they'll be losing any sleep over restricting bikes to less than 50. maybe that was the point - but making it unsafe wasn't the best option surely.

Even worse was the amount of gravel that I had to dig out me my tyres afterwards

Hi,

Can someone explain the Hillingdon series to me? Have been cycling round Richmond Park for over a year now, with a couple of sportives along the way, would now like to do something more competitive. Im not a member of a club and my three lap time for RP is about 56 mins (though I'm some way off that now). Specifically:

1. Can anyone enter? Do you need to be a club member?
2. Am I quick enough to even keep up?! Or would I get dropped immediately and spend most of the time cycling round on my own like an idiot!?
3. Do you need to sign up for the whole series or can you pick and choose?

Hope you can help.

Hi Rookie, I imagine you're better off discussing this in the amateur race forum, but FWIW, answers are 1 Yes and No, 2, with a 56ish min 3 lapper you'll easily keep up, 3 pick and choose.
Main negative is risk of crashes given the number of newish group riders.

Well done Crissy Boy (not a Madness reference?). I've stuck your time in the list.
When you improve you just do a 'quote' reply, and then delete the quote bits and embolden your entry (plus unembolden previous). And feel free to add the other bits of info when you do that.

Im not a member of a club and my three lap time for RP is about 56 mins (though I'm some way off that now). Specifically:

1. Can anyone enter? Do you need to be a club member?
2. Am I quick enough to even keep up?! Or would I get dropped immediately and spend most of the time cycling round on my own like an idiot!?
3. Do you need to sign up for the whole series or can you pick and choose?


Anyone can enter, day licences at 10quid a pop are expensive, so British Cycling membership would pay for itself in not many races at all - you'll keep up comfortably with a 56 minute form, you'll probably be able to do what you want with little real chance of getting dropped - once you learn to follow wheels tightly etc if that's new to you. You can do any number of races, but there's a series fee to get the number so a single race can be pretty pricey.

Not sure how closely RP speed relates to racing form. Can't comment for Hillingdon but I had a go at Crystal Palace earlier in the year (when I was clocking decent 3 lap times round RP) and got spat out within a handful of laps - its a lot more to do with cornering, braking, accelerating, bursts of power etc. I'm probably moving out that way soon so will get myself a BC licence and will be a regular vistor next season, may also give Hillingdon a go!

Crystal palace is much more technical than Hillingdon, hillingdon you generally don't touch the brakes ever and you can pedal through corners comfortably.
