This is more of a genral bikeing question rather than fixed specific. One that you guys who ride with clubs will be best able to answer I would guess.
Being someone who until about two years ago was mainly into mbt and BMX I have little idea about speed. Having 1st bought an old roade bike then building my fixed gear up a year ago I am curious. I know I am slow but just speed curious.
How fast is fast? I don't mean if entered in a race but on a ride / traing ride, not through town traffic which will effect your speed but more out of town riding. I hear David saying "I am going to do 80 miles fast for traing ..." How long would you expect that to take? Would you do 50 miles at the same speed, 100 miles at the same speed? How would you expect riding at night to effect you speed (like in the Dynwich dyanmo or rolling to the stones?) When you guys do club traing rides rides do you take brakes? How often?
Put any other info that i have not thought of please.
Ta very much.
