Richmond laps

[Robh]

Sean,

Seeing you can sit in a bunch doing 19mph av for 1hr-1hr30mins can you ride @ 21mph + for an hour on your own?

Do you know what the wind conditions are going to be like on the day you attempt your ride?

What equipment will you be riding? Aero wheels? Time trial helmet? Time trial bike?

Are you you going to be riding on the drops or tops?

Lastly how long is a piece of string?

[quote="Sean Hogan - 何祥"]Given my recent relatively sustained riding in the 19s what sort of times should I expect to post for lasp of RP, the number of laps is 3 right?

[Will]

You'll do 2 laps in 48:47

[George]

If you can break the hour I'll buy you a drink Sean

[Toks]

I'll buy you two drinks if you beat 70 minutes

[Will]

that's good going

riding home (to putney) there was a very strong and gusty wind so it must have been hard work in the park

[Grahame]

And shorter - by 30 metres or so (assuming a 10 metre wide road)

[Will]

Is that based on Pi x 10?

[Michelle]

I was gonna post that you were nuts to do it before Palace, that sort of hard TT Threshold effort is no sort of warm up just before a fast furious and technical hour long race.

But I didn't.

So.....how did you do at Palace

Actually I was in half a mind not to race earlier in the day hence the trip out to RP, but there you go. It is all training work albeit not exactly tailored to the Nove Colli.

[Toks]

[quote="Sean Hogan - 何祥"]No, I agree with you as I know it is all doing me good. Certainly I'm in far better shape than thistime 2 years ago

I will definitely give the ThreeLapChallenge a punt after I come back from Italy. As I said I did those 2 laps with a short break inbetween each time. I think I could get in under 70 for the three laps. Does it matter which way the laps are run?

[quote="Sean Hogan - 何祥"]Well thats good as I preferred the ACW as that steep hill on the CW is a bugger.

[quote="Toks"][url=http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12603098&start=360]Kingston Wheeler[/url](currently 2nd on the list) was successful in a previous etapes and pretty much based his training on 3 laps of RP.

[Will]

Managed a 58:24 which I reckon is good enough (for me)

Probably got some more in the tank - got held up by an ambulance for about a quarter of a lap - so will have another go at some point...

I see Toks has quietly put in a good time

Good going will
What time did you go?
might have to get back over there soon, i see my 3rd position has rapidly slipped away.....
