Believe it or not the shoes helped more then the tires did. But the tires did feel a lot better then the old ones. I want to see want I can do with everything off the bike. So one day this week I'm going to take off the bag, headlight, tail lights, water cage, kick stand etc.... I thank it will not help a lot but I want to see how much it is slowing me down. I will just take two tire tools and a tube in my pocket. And tie my work shirt around my waste. But I'll have to fly home before it gets dark.
BTW, on the way home I stop and fix a guys car for him. The tubro chager hose clamp come lose. All I had to do just put the clamp on. And he was on his way again. He tired to pay me but I just told him to go get a beer with it.
Wow, that's really fast. Without a wind assist, I'm not going to be able to beat that. You should think of looking into the local Time Trial races in your area. I am sure you would do quite well. Ccyling shoes really do make a difference. Do you have some good pedals yet? Your next purchases, if I may offer some advice, should be lycra cycling clothing and pedals. The clothes because you will notice another speed increase without the drag caused by your civilian clothes. You should also look into a messenger bag to haul your stuff, uch more aero!
Anyways, awesome run. I think that you are going to take the speed week prize, at least unitl Cyclaholic takes his shot!
