40+ mph with little training. ok.
If you are aiming for 40+ Mph with little training, I would suggest that you invest in a new cycle computer as well
jeez this was not meant as a penis measuring contest.
40+ is not that fast - and i said i could hit it, not maintain it for any length of time. nor did i say how long it takes me to reach that number. the top pro sprinters can hold up to around 50; moreover they get to speed a lot faster than i do.
i'm a rhythm climber type, at a low-end category 2 level - can't sprint for ****. picture jan ullrich, only much slower. but yes, on a flat road with no wind i can get to 40. and i was able to do it years ago, so i don't think it's something that will require too much training to get to. just do intervals for a while and it'll come.
Now that's a rush!!!! The fastest I have ever gone is 53 mph and I walked down the "mountain" and checked out the road before I did it to make sure there were no rocks, etc. to wreck me!
yeah lol it was. i was coming down the canyon and decided to see how fast i could go before i got scared. the answer was about 50, but i decided to push it higher anyway. when the odometer said 65 i couldn't keep myself from braking any longer lol.
i have a friend with a speeding ticket framed on his wall - it says 73, in a 25mph zone, on his bike. i wouldnt have believed it if i hadn't seen the ticket ...
