Furthest you've ridden fixed is...

I'm not riding it at all this year. There's a wedding on.

did the 100km rotorua to taupo flyer a couple of weeks ago. three of us road 75 gear inches. 2 hours 50ish.

That's a damn good time you set there.. especially riding those silly bikes.. ;)

There's only one longish downhill on DD anyway. Getting a road bike to ride it is a sure sign of weakness and probable impending death from girlsblouseitis.

Exaclty. HTFU and learn to spin. Last week I did 3 laps of Richmond Park on fixed, and 3 laps on the geared bike. My fastest speed was 53.2kph on the fixed compared to 52.5kph on the geared bike. At 200rpm I'd be doing 64.6kph, plenty enough if only I could get my spin-fu going. As for hills:-

The dude on the right looks like he is auditioning for a part in a 80s pop band.

Seriously though impressive time.

100 miles last sunday [around chelmsford]

22.1 miles yesterday. Bromley to Canary Wharfe...round to the northside of Tower Bridge...lunch at Southbank and back again. Nothing insane, then i did only buy the fixed on Friday!

Looking to increase that to 30 next week, 35 the week following...and then may try London to Brighton in a month or so.

How many other members smoke?

How many other members smoke?

I was actually surprised at the large number who do, before moving here a few months back i'd never anyone who cycled regularly and smoked, but probably about a third of the guys i've met do.

Pathologically compensatory behaviour for the lack of an exhaust pipe on a bike and consequent pollution.

I bet Freud would have something interesting to say on this along the lines of these cyclists' envy of cars.

I only smoke cos everyone else does and it makes me look cool. Plus I get to show off to my road club members just how alternative I am and leave them in shock and awe

is this cool? is this cool?

insert chris morris etc. and so on.

Did 60 mile training ride. Brakeless. Hills. Legs fucked for two days.

125 mile +, me & my brother in law did the London to Oxford and back, it was 61 miles there and we got lost on the way back........i must admit i failed to get up the hill at Christmas Common my bro in law got to the top

I smoke, it's very important to have the cigarette pack showing in the back pocket when you pass roadies uphill.

200k on a brakeless pursuit bike for a breve in Augusta, Ga two years ago. It hurt. Allot.

wow, that's impressive! the longest ride I have ever done was 190k and that was on a geared bike...

Yeah...I don't recommend it. I'm not a fantastic rider to begin with, and that was a very long day for me.
The thing is, that I don't have a very good grasp on kilometers, so you can tell me any number and I still think it's about fifty miles and that I'll be fine.

Yes, I think you should stick with miles. There's always fewer of them than of kilometres.

125 miles in the alps a few years ago

Which is why it's better to use kays for your distance and speed measurement.

I did 200 at 30 sounds better than 120 at 20. :)

you just have to try harder hippy.

sounds like you improved allot in ten years.
