2011-05-14 - London to Brighton - Mark II

Think that might be a slight overestimation.

I went down the hill first and briefly touched 29mph (about 140rpm at a guess). Skive was riding same GI as me (~67ish) and overtook quite comfortably before pulling away into the distance. Eye opening to see somebody spin like that when I'm new to fixed. It was fast however fast it was.

no gears here.

i rock 64 odd gi which at 37mph is something like 200rpm
i cannot hit 40 on that gearing.

Makes sense, I was starting to fear skive if I ever came up against him at Rollaz :)

I managed 34.Xmph on 70" when we went down it the other weekend, best Rollaz result a (theoretical) 48.4mph, 195.5rpm on 84.9″. Getting to 200rpm ain't easy.
