Subject: RE: March Madness Bike Challenge Weekly ResultsMarch Madness Peeps: A different kind of results to post. I did a 65 mile bike ride through rural Georgia over the weekend (the Cartersville "Beautiful Backroads" Century route). I did this route at the beginning of the bike challenge with an average speed of 17.72 ... did the same route this weekend and averaged 19.22. That is a 1.5 mph difference - or close to 10% increase in speed. Granted that I got a new bike (reward to myself for making my increased goal), but as Lance said in 2004 - "It's not about the bike." Hope your increased time in the saddle pays dividends too. |
