  • To...e p.p

    Why do you keep writing this? Why not just write Toodle Pip without the dots. Also why write it at all?

  • Is a long (and by now quite old story).

    ........ ...

  • A public forum with hundreds of members is a great place to practice your in joke. Keep it up, you'll make loads of friends.

  • Well I am aero equipped for a start.

    T...... ...

    Such as?

    I would say this is fairly easy to sort, as mentioned earlier pop down the track next Sunday and show as doubters what you are all about.

    Well, I have a jimmy Hill chin, a very pointed nose and I wax my legs. This gives me the Cd of a shaven ferret.

    I'll decline the invite if its OK with you, however any time you want to pop down to Kent I'll happily take you for a nice toodle.

    ......e ..p

  • I'm happy.

  • Who are Dave Brailsford and Brad Wiggins?

    As stated, 35 MPH from the Eyethorne turn off on the A256 to Eastry. Spinning @ 140- 150.
    And don't my legs know it now.

    .oo... .i.

    Looking at the contour lines on the map, it appears to be a little bit downhill for the most part (maybe 1% - significant at those kind of speeds); plus of course your 15-20mph tailwind, and possibly traffic draft as it's a dual carriageway.

    Maybe there was a droplet of rain on the computer that made a '2' look like a '3', or maybe a '0' look like a '5'...

    I'll concede the incline wind and traffic (although it does look flat when your riding it), but I wasn't raining at the time, just damp after a shower.

    He's scared of Pistanator. :)

  • I went hypersonic down Uxbridge road yesterday.

    Still never caught me though....

  • Just you wait, i'll draft this and your ass will be toast.

  • I think Mark's been at the EPO. :)

  • .....e p.. o

  • TootlE POp.

    Chin too small, nose not pointy enough, can't tell about the waxing.

    .....e p.p

  • is that American Flyers??!?!?!

  • ooops, I mean Breaking Away.

  • Yeah, it's Breaking Away

  • Arducius did do just under 40 MPH at 48:18 downhill, that is just under 190-200rpm at that cadence.

  • I've mentioned on here before that I've topped 40mph in 46x18, and I think fixedwheelnut has too.

    But it has absolutely no bearing on whether someone can sustain 35mph @ 160rpm on the flat for 2 miles.

    Awesome RPM ... I must have missed it.

    Crazy RPM, I was racing him down and I could only keep that up for a few seconds (I have cheating freewheel at same GI), he managed substantially longer.

    Anyone past the 200rpm mark has my respect, it something my legs just can't do ... I am all slow muscle so I just can't do it.

  • Find a steep enough hill (and safe enough), fit a fixed sprocket, and 'most people' could do 200rpm ;)

    Well I definetely ain't one of them.
