Don't believe everything you read!
Many years ago I was capable of knocking out centuries in the hills in 5 hours or less, riding the bike I built with a Raleigh frame (Reynolds 531 double butted), Shimano 600 groupset with friction downtube levers and 19mm skin wall tires. (I still kick myself now and then about selling that bike)
I can still maintain a decent speed on the flats, but there aren't a lot of those in Upstate SC, and my bad knee just won't allow me to push too many watts in the hills.
Just look at my tag line below, and you'll realize I'm no longer a threat!
