I know this sounds completely absurd, but I can't lose anything by asking.

Am doing a 4 hour cycle on Sunday morning - from 4-6am, 20min rest, then another 2 hours, so finishing around 8.30. Will get to the Park around 4.45 and will leave the Park around 7.45.

Last year I once got to the Park at 5 in the morning and did 1 lap - it was a totally amazing experience - honestly it was incredible - just mist, me and loads of wildlife - so am hoping that the weather will be half-decent and that I will get a repeat of this really, really good experience.  

I will only be cycling around the 23-26 km/h mark so would be quite gently. If you feel like you want to do something really crazy, then here is your chance!!!

Hi George,

This sounds awesome, but the earliest I could be there would be 6am - do you have a telephone number? If I make it for 6am I'll call you; Richmond park is an hour's ride away from mine.

Lovely idea!

thanks for going there - was cool to cycle with you and Eddie.  So did you end up "going to Brighton"?
