Cycling Video Thread

Does one exist? I will gladly post any videos I make there if it does.

But for now, this was our ride on Saturday. 26 miles at 15.9 average speed. Gina's son passed away 2 months ago and this was the anniversary of that date so she was a little sentimental. But did her great to see and talk with cycling friends again. The other gal Aimee in the video is a long time ride partner and has been a great friend to Gina during really bad times. It was nice to see them talk and cry together, let it out!

But Gina is a strong woman, mentally and physically so I had to get her back on the bike, good for the soul!

Thank you! Hopefully I can stay on the bike for a while and get something going!

Some pretty impressive cycling infrastructure you have there.

Do you guys ever do any club time trials? You've got the ideal trails for them - flat, smooth and straight with no traffic.

They don't do races on this trail. Perfect for time trials but it is used way too much I think. It would be hard for them to close it off as it is 30 miles one way, 60 roundtrip.

They do an uphill time trial on a local road GMR (Glendora Mtn Road) but only 4 miles.

If wish they would do a time trial.

On Strava there are about 18,538 riders on my favorite segment of 7.4 miles.

I think I am placed about 1,933 out of the 18,538 riders on that segment.

Plus when I test myself, I do it solo at the end of a 44 miler and I know many are in packs so I think I would do OK. Won't win but wouldn't expect to!

My stats: 7.4 miles/ 22.9 MPH average speed.

Back when Gina was riding a lot about 3 years ago, she set a 20.5 on her single bike along that segment. She's placed at #127 out of 2674 women riders. Then a 22.5 on the tandem.

She was drafting me on her single though. So maybe we would do a team time trial!
