  • If HOP are not doing this already then your speeds are going to rocket.

    they don't... They do the get to the front and rocket until I'm fucked version

  • ^ this, 30 mph for 3 seconds then home

  • what hour of power needs is more people riding fixed, rather than tactics.

    Also, this. Less yo-yo, less freewheel more spinz

  • I tried early morning laps this morning before work and was in the park at 7am and there was group of about 12 doing the weirdest 'training' session possible.

    Chester Road to York Gate then 'recovery' through the Inner Circle but only two guys on the front during the 'on' bit and no rotation. What the other 10 were getting out of it I have no idea.

  • I think I've seen them before when I used to do early morning laps, it is odd.

    Many times I've also seen random people tag along with each other to form the most ramshackle group I've ever seen. It's like the cheerleading B squad, the whose who of leisure cyclists. People with bags, hybrids, shoppers (I shit you not, one of them had a basket), and pannier central too.

    I'm not complaining, and I shouldn't mock because it's nice to see people out riding their bikes and they're obviously having fun, but it does look hilarious.

  • Sounds like the HoP to me.

  • Zing!

  • Zomg

  • In for tonight

  • Out for tonight but might come and say "oh haro!" before you guys start. Bexlely 10 last night killed my legs.

  • out.

  • How you get on at Bexley OSR?

  • Im a one man chain gang

  • I might show up tonight dependent on how much work is pissing me off.

  • Im going out riding now. Will come along later but ill be off doing my own thing (no change there)

  • Im going out riding now. Will come along later but ill be dropped immediately

    ftfy

  • out. Getting drunk.

  • Really enjoyed it, second time out (ever) and a PB of 24.48. Really happy with that, just need more time on the TT bike to get the muscles used to the position etc and start with some specific training.

    Wuss. I've got a meeting at 7 so no fun for me :(

  • Im gonna head out there now for 8 laps. Feeling antisocial. If you see me, keep calm and carry on

  • Went out earlier on and did laps. was fun. very hot.

  • I bet it was a shit show tonight, I think its best to avoid the park in weather like this.

  • I went round Dulwich Park, very slowly, using the TT bars very much as something to rest on.

    Coming round the park and into the wind does illustrate how effective they are, it must be said.

    Yep, I went out for 8, and had a roadie train up my ass for 5 of them. I tried my best to let them pass but they refused and insisted on staying put.

    I even did the old wait at the lights after they have gone green trick hoping they would go, but they were too smart for that and waited. Worst thing was at the end one of them pulls up a long side me and says "you are a quick rider, but you should push a harder gear, it will make you stronger and you will go faster".

    Mr response?

  • ha ha ha

    your response:

    "your a slow rider you should stop drafting like a little bitch and you will go faster"
