Faster Crooked Clyde!
My moving speed over the past couple of rides has been above 11 MPH. And I had a three mile time trial yesterday that clocked in at 13.6 MPH. Just imagine what will happen when I put the slicks on!
Thanks to my fellow Clydes for your advice and encouragement.

Excellent! +1 to the slicks idea. Although, a guy on a mtn bike with knobby tires did pass me yesterday at 20mph on the river path! Never happened to me before! Wow!

How many miles you plan to ride on the MS event? I myself I am participating on the MS150 Rock n Roll event in September. It's 2-day 75 miles each day event.
