Dino ol' buddy....
We have Masters 55 + riders that ride a 54 minute 40k in this district. Not too shabby for a small pond.
And again I would beg to differ...
High-level running and cycling may not be mutually exclusive. As long as the person doing the running and cycling does not have a regular 40-hour/week job other than running and cycling......
And it's all relative. A pro trigeek is not going to beat a pro cyclist in a time trial or beat a world-class marathoner in a marathon or beat a world-class swimmer in a long distance swim.
And the vast majority of part-time trigeeks are slower on the bike than part-time cyclists.
