who says a space horse would even be any quicker? a shorter wheelbase, but less cushy tires and possibly a harsher riding frame would probably leave me missing my riv.
at least now i've got a space horse frame i can keep for awhile and decide what i'm going to do with it.
^^ Good news.
Yesterday I rode a century single speed.
It was the inaugural 100 miler set up and run by the brewery "cycling team" I ride with. Pretty good turnout though. 60 - 70 riders for the 50 and 100 mile routes combined.
I geared for the last 20 miles of gravel hills and got killed on the mostly flat 50 miles of greenway that started the damn thing.
Still happy with my overall pace though. 6:18 overall, managed 18 mph avg for the first 55 miles and 3,800 ft in elevation overall. All on 66 GI. Today I'm ded.
