Soho to Dalston PB

So,

i did my personal best riding from Dean St, Soho to the top Kingsland Road (outside the big Oxfam) in 11 minutes.

proud/brag/so what?

anyone else got some personal triumphs?

I have achieved little of note.

nothing compared to your triumph.

did you look cool while achieving it?

if he was holding the bars by the stem, running red lights, scattering peds and weaving around for no apparent reason like those hipsters do then he would have looked so cool you'd have to wear a wooly hat just to think about it.

nah - sweaty and i smell of onions afterwards.

so, because i live in Dalston I'm a 'hipster'?

I hope you stopped off at the anti doping caravan before you hit the showers.
Wouldn't want anybody to insinuate away your glory.

I made it from Stockwell to Wharf Road in the same time*, hooray me.

*Lies, it was around 15

well, i work during the night and ride home around 5am...... no traffic, so i guess i'm getting a helping hand. ;)

distance?

Omg! What have we become?

@ |³|MA3K ey! please, please we need your picture here, you know the one, you do!

about 7 km according to google maps.

For fixed wheel valour, we salute you:

i think its great to challenge yourself. good for you.

Thats over 20mph average, good fucking effort mate.

From Bradley Wiggins' Twitter:

"Just found out someone on lfgss rode from Soho to Dalston in 11 minutes. Sort of puts my Tour performance into perspective."

I have only timed myself once and got home in 7 minutes 40 (white city to Parsons Green) thats about 5 mile.. but i had a bad day in the office and was red lining it so had to calm down

So that's 15m20 pace for a 10. You should be winning everything at international elite level.

4 miles at 21mph average..

of course, this is very impressive if you run a 50" gear , but you may have cheated and ridden at over 25mph for some of the way, then cruised along.

Wrong picture, you tease.

who's good at maths?

here's a question:

Hauska brings his bike to the Herne Hill track and copies his ride (21mph for 11k), 11k is about 24 laps of the track, if the resting bunch are going around on the blue line at 24mph, how many laps before they overtake him?

uhhh

his bike will probably not be track legal.

So that's 15m20 pace for a 10. You should be winning everything at international elite level.

Come on, be realistic, you are gonna drop 10-20% over your second 5. That's a massive 18 minutes, so only just matching brad wiggins PB and record.
