I mentioned that before I attempt a kew crit I want to do some training on
the loop and get comfortable with that hairpin bend. Was thinking of
heading down there Saturday week (30/7) in the morning. I was thinking of
around 8am, anyone else interested?

Sounds like fun.... I'll be there!

cheers,

clockwise. Wish they'd get rid of that damned arrow pointing clockwise.

Why? I use that course in both directions, depending on what
I'm working on. Keep your eyes open and it's not a problem.

There's a velodrone not far away if you want one-directional
traffic.

Like 'working on' turning right, for example? Seriously, what do you
work on that means you need to go clockwise, just out of interest?

The hill. It's steeper up that way.

Weather was perfect with me, BT, GPLama, Ess93 and JayWoo all out for a
spin. Luckily there was no FlyingDutch. I say luckily because for most
of our time there we were sharing the circuit with a triathlon club on a
training session. I think the sight of all those tri bars might have
freaked FD out. I had enough practice on the infamous hairpin bend to
have a crack at the crit next week. And my speed was about where I
wanted it to be, 29kmh for the first 20 min, and 31kmh for the second 20
mins drafting (Ess would use his lack of weight up the hills, I would
use my abundance of weight going down them). Let's see how long I last
before being dropped next week.

the protons were off the greenmachine and 18 months old

i wonder if the added comfort of CF is making me sit more over bumps i would normally stand up on?
