chain gangs

Let me know when you're back from France and perhaps we can have a tootle to Higham Ferrars and back (in the daylight) one day? You can show me the ropes then. A 25 mph ride should be possible ... shouldn't it? Or am I being a bit ambitious / naive?

"""A 25 mph ride should be possible""" sorry no it isn't..G..

Surely it is (possible) with 2 people doing bit and bit (is that the right terminology)?

but are you strong enough...???....A there is a BIG difference between 22mph and 25 mph.. don't believe me..try it sometime,ride at 22mph for say 5 miles (easy as falling off a log ) then up it to 25 mph for the next 5 miles .!!!!.,remember that chaingang course out and home" is no dragstrip..billy wizz,i say turn up on Sunday for the club run group ride with group 1 and see what you are made of,,i will check next week...G....

Hi Geoff, just a curiosity but the times for the leaderboard is that the full chain gang higham ferrars course ?? just curious hope your well , rich

hi there Rich, if you are referring to the Strava st neots chain gang,,ok..that time was done when YOU were out,remember ah ah..you gave us ALL so much pain...the start and finish point is the bridge over the A1....i do not want to sound bullish BUT as you know, there is only YOU who is capable to beat ""THE HOUR" over a 25 mile TT....any other riders making a time which exceeds 25mph is or must be in a bunch riding very fast..and as we both know...it is NOT 25 mph its 27 mph to get 25mph...well done with the world champion masters selection..you deserve it..oh got under 29 mins for the TT.(big head )..see ya G.

See my post No 17 earlier in this thread Geoff. My mate says he's done it at over 25 mph ... by himself too. Do you reckon he's got some talent then? It can't be THAT hard surely?

why dont you try it then..............having been in this game for 55 years, i take so called friends achevements with a pinch of salt..i have a friend who claims he rode up the ALPE in 51 minutes that's faster that only 5 other riders..hey got an idea, why not you and your friend do it and then report back,,,,,there is only ONE guy who is capable of riding this course over 25mph who lives around st neots..and it R Hancock....club run on Sunday..group 1..give em hell oh bring your friend along..he should show em////G...

You calling my friend a liar Geoff?

I went for a ride with a R Hancock once. I wonder if it's the same chap and if so, if he remembers?

Do it billy and post your time.

I will buy you a beer because I can't ride the entire chaingang solo @ 25mph average. Ouch!
