Wow, there are some impressively fast people in the RBR peloton!

More than 1,200 roadies answered and 28 (2%) claim to have ridden a century in less than 4 hours -- an average speed greater than 25 mph (40.3 kph). One-quarter have beaten 5 hours, or better than 20 mph (32.2 kph). You can see the full results in the archive at http://www.roadbikerider.com/poll

Do you believe that 2% truly broke 4 hours?

My fastest was 4:05. I could have gone sub-4 if I had packed a fourth bottle of heed and didn't have to stop for a refill. Two of my friends who were on that ride did 3:57.

So, yeah, I believe it.
