Subject: RE: LaurenSU02's group - CLOSED!GomesBolt - 2008-07-09 10:39 AM Is anyone else watching the Tour de France? Yesterday, David Millar was going 80kph (~50mph) on the flats. That's ridonkulous. How fast have you guys gone? I think my fastest was on a downhill in Quantico, I got to 40 and then got too scared. Here, I can't get over 35 because the bridges are too short to get up any real speed. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the TdF. Those guys are amazing...... As for me, I have actually hit 60 mph with a lot of down hill help. It was kind of scary. The course that I usually race on has a really long and steep hill that I get somewhere from 50 to 55 every time. To be honest, not sure if I like it, but it's a race so I let it loose. good news is, by the time I max out, the hill is over, so I don't have to deal with those speeds for too long. The TdF mountain stages, they get up to 60-65 AND have to deal with twisty roads. SPOOOKKKYYY. |
