Terrible run for me, but hey it gives you a more professionally shot video of the action.

henry_j said...: How come he (Richard?) was saying "That's frightening. That's frightening." (@1:15) when the screen showed you as the winner?; 4:11 PM
gewilli said...: Honestly, I don't remember. The video has footage from two sessions, the one with Richard saying Frightening was 4 weeks ago...; 4:13 PM
henry_j said...: Oh, are you sure you weren't promising a sub 19 sec run on April Fools' day?; 4:57 PM
gewilli said...: sub 19 is going to be tough...

my peak mph has been around 57-59mph on those rollers (48x15 fixed gear)

I would have to average something around 235 rpms for the whole 18.99 seconds to break into the sub 19 range.

If i can hold that peak speed i might be able to hit the 20.1 mark but probably not.; 5:02 PM
henry_j said...: Numbers like that would (almost) put you in company of the immortal Charles Minthorn Murphy, also known as Mile-a-Minute Murphy.

Just remember, his run was made in 1899 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Minthorn_Murphy .

I hope none of your buds works for Amtrak.; 6:14 PM
gewilli said...: it would take (at the least) gearing something other than a 48x15 to go a mile that fast; 9:44 PM
