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

I take it Hoy and the like have a lot higher gearing then or he would be doing over 230

I think that is fair to assume. You coming up for the next one Steve ?
If you can get a train to Cambridge I will pick you up on the way

I certainly felt undergeared - another 6" would have been helped. Next time I'll have to make sure I've got my own steed to break 18 secs

Tony - no worries on the diversion. Snake pass has just been inserted onto the top of my list of roads (that I've seen) that I'd like to ride on in the UK.

Oy Hoy used 51*14 in Athens. And he'd be doing about 160 with that for his 200m record. Hells bells!

Yes that's my target for next time. Bit of training, cut out the pies, easy-peasy.

Sh4rky - did you video the timed laps?

Sh4rky - did you video the timed laps?

I did... now just need some way of adding a clock to the footage so more accurate times can be gathered (although it's quite difficult to see exactly who is passing the camera each time).

Any suggestions about adding a clock to the image?
