Re: The Cycling Thread
Crikey 305km is pretty beastly!

Re: The Cycling Thread
Anyone fancy buying me a new bike... I've spotted this and I think I truly deserve it...
Thanks to the person who is kind enough to make me a happy boy.

It was the elevation profile that got my attention. The course looks like it was designed by the Devil himself. Last year I entered a 6hr TT. Scored a class win and placed outright with 274km. The course was flat and fast in comparison though. We met up with another group on the way home and over the following 10 days rode all of the Cat 1+ (and a few that weren't) climbs on this list. The longest day was about 140km. http://theclimbingcyclist.com/climbs/climblist/ |

Re: The Cycling Thread
So am I right in thinking you're saying that you did 274km in 6 hours. Jesus you averaged 45.6kmh or 28.5mph for six hours
No wonder Bradley Wigginton has started ski jumping. But then again my maths could be wrong.

Re: The Cycling Thread
Except for a couple of years when Raleigh thought they ruled the world and changed everything to 24tpi. They almost did rule the world too for a bit. A few years later and a certain era of vintage Raleigh bikes are a real PITA to find parts for.
