Hey guys
Many of you were very helpful with my previous thread (CALLING IR), thanks for that. I said at the time that I wanted to increase the speed. Well after changing to a sprocket crank team of 42/13 I decided, after some of your advice, to get clipped on. I could not justify to the wife the expense of shoes and pedals so got some straps/clips instead and boy OH BOY. My speeds have gone from 20-22 mph to 26 with the new sprocket to 27.8 with my clips. I didn't realise there was so much to be gained from using the full rotation. On my other thread my desire was to be faster than a geared racing bike. I am 5 mph up on my previous average speed and looking forward to finding some racing bikes to annihilate. MWAHHH HAAW HAAW
. ( Said in a devilishly naughty manner.) However, for now I am contempt with the glow from the days events, made all the more enjoyable when I passed 3 young ladies (16-18 year olds) on their bikes. On hearing my calls on approach, they kindly moved over to the side of the cycle path. I went pass them at 28.2 mph to which one commented to another just how fast I was moving. YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH, finally feel like I could take on the world
. Just need to get the legs fitter and who knows what I could achieve.
Enjoy your rides
