if only i'd read this earlier. i went yesterday. evening. jumped on the back of a paragon rider (who kept trying to shake me, mwhahahaha) and a bunch of dynamos (who dropped me after 3/4s of a lap) for a bit. i did 3 and a half laps in the end. quite nice really. it was pretty quiet in the evening i started to wonder whether the park had actually closed.

I had a crack at this on Saturday.

Went anti-clockwise from a standing start by the rugby pitches. managed 59:38

Blimey it was hot , I had to lie down on the grass for about half an hour afterwards to cool off

[Rob Q]

A great effort Sean, and also well done on a great time

[Toks]

Cool, have you registered your time on Bike Radar yet?

[carl f]

good going sean,you'll soon be under the hour
I did a ONE lap challenge over there last week before work,full TT set up but without sperm hat-17.12,no way would have kept that up for three laps though...
Cheers

Good effort Sean, early morning will always guarantee a head wind in my 3 year experience. Try going for it late in the evening I thinks that when most of the best times are set.

Had a crack at this last night (starting about 7:15pm) and posted 59.35. Thought I'd gone off too slowly but actually my lap times got progressively slower after the first lap of 19:15.

There was a nagging headwind on the drag up to Richmond, and I got seriously held up by cars on the section between Robin Hood and Roehampton. But them's the breaks - it was all good fun and gives me something to chip away at.
