1965 [ish] Moulton beats 2008 Carbon.. Official

[bonk man]

Ha..........Worcester St Johns reliability ride, 50 miles including the hideous Stamford Bank.....average speed 16mph

I wasn't last and caught a guy on a new looking carbon fibre race bike about 30 miles in, I out descended him, 40 mph on the twisting scary road out of Cllifton on Teme caught him on the next small climb poor guy, after I went past I think his morale crashed and that was it.

To be fair I was nearly last, probably 35th out of 40 but apart from really achy thighs it was a good ride, if I could get round with the fast blokes on the Moulton I reckon I could beat anyoneand had it been flat today 17mph would have been doable but there was a couple of thousand feet of climbing and the bike weighs 35 lbs

I was listening to the Moulton story the other day, very interesting do you have any more pictures ? It looks rather dirty from that angle.

I hope you honked your horn as you went past.

 

[yello]

Chapeau!

It would have destroyed me, I almost feel sorry for the guy!
