I was slower this time even though i was convinced i got a better start. oh well, something to aim for.

Yay - faster for me this time, although when I first got onto the track my hamstrings were twinging slightly so I thought it would be a slow day.

19.07... quite pleased with that.

Well I wasn't going to say but I was riding with a trapped nerve in my neck which made the drops absolute agony...wine and tens machine sorts it out briefly but 3 months of this now is driving me crazy.
Still pleased with my 21 and a bit!

PS I don't know what a hamstring is..seriously...

Grrr ! A full 2 ( TWO???) seconds slower than last time.

On the other hand I have the perfect excuse...................I'm slow.

Just for interest here's what those times equate to roughly

23 secs - 24.3 mph
22 secs - 25.4 mph
21 secs - 26.6 mph
20 secs - 27.9 mph
19 secs - 29.4 mph

Now for further comparison

Manchester track records

1K 1.01 secs = 36mph (nimke)
w 200m 10.09 secs = 41mph (pendleton)
m 200m 9.8 secs = 45 mph (hoy)

 

[Tharg2007]

1K 1.01 secs = 36mph (nimke)

1.01 seconds? WOW

Nice one andy

Just worked this out.
With gearing of 50*16 you get 6.6m rollout which means a lap on the black line is 37.8 revs.

SO:
60/your lap time x 37.8 = your cadence.

Mine worked out at 105

18sec = 126
19sec = 119
20sec = 113
21sec = 108
22sec = 103
23sec = 98

Doesnt matter which way we stack up the figures........i'm crap.

As an aside, i am logging my miles, anyone like to make a conservative guess at how many i should put down for yesterday?

40 laps = 6.2 miles we must have done that ???
