I used to race against Fruit for London Gabor a lot and he was bloody fast. Not the fastest uphill but christ he could descend quickly. That's some feather to have in your cap in my eyes.
Chapeau for the 100 mile weekend too, next stop a 100 miles in a day? You'd sleep soundly after that.

OOOooo! Ta AndyP, that stretch was lovely and deserted (for a change) so I applied extra 'whahey' on that ride, I did it here on this section too an the same thing happened! :)

Defintely doable at 10mph averages, leaving at 6am, proper pub lunch, then finish off the next 50 miles back?

Things I have learned this weekend.
1) A 21.1mm stem from your partners old bike may well fit but it'll loosen off.
2) A 22.2mm stem is the correct size.
3) Fitting the correct diameter stem with a lightly shorter reach (60mm) works bloomin' wonders.
Observez Vous....
Saturday, 47.91 mile 'test ride'...
"I wonder if I'm going as fast as I think I am...."
Sleeps soundly for the night.
Sunday, "just popping out for another test ride dearest...."
56.49 miles later...
So, 56.49 + 47.91 = 104.4 miles in total this weekend, whahey! My first ever 'weekend-100-mile total fixed gear ride, cheers LFGSS :)
