Elite 2458    Livingston, MT |  Subject: 20 mphI did it. All it took was a new bike, some renewed vigor, and whammo, I friggin did it. I managed to sustain 20 mph over the course of an hour (even having to stop at a few lights). Of course I'm at work and nobody here understands this milestone. 86 days to CDA! kick @$$!!! |

Master 2381 Frisco, Texas | Subject: RE: 20 mph Nice bike! I have the '05 model of the S22. It's a funky orange color, but I love that bike. Just think how fast you'll be after dropping another $2k on a set of Zipps for Black Beauty! TJ |

Just think how fast you'll be after dropping another $2k on a set of Zipps for Black Beauty! TJ You're not kidding. I'm thinking HED3's, but like Daremo said, I gotta get to the point that I can maintain for over 5 hours. I honestly can't wait to get a true fit on this bad boy. It feels great now, I can just imagine what it will feel like when I've got it dialed in. |

| Veteran 171 Mobile, Alabama | Subject: RE: 20 mph RedCorvette - 2006-03-31 6:24 AM Nice bike. Not sure about that taco... Did the taco come right after the ride. Maybe thats what I need, some taco motivation!!!! |

| Champion 4902 Ottawa, Ontario | Subject: RE: 20 mph Hey, congratulations. I hope that this is just one of many milestones for you. Your sustained 20mph for one hour was obviously due to having a black bike. Now that have a black bike myself, I realise that they are the fastest ... |

| Elite 2458 Livingston, MT | Subject: RE: 20 mph surfwallace - 2006-03-31 5:26 AM I think that taco plate is beautiful. Just out of curiosity, how fast were you before the bike on the same course? How much of it really is the bike I guess I am asking? BTW congrats! (On the 20mph not just the taco) On a good day with zero wind, catching every light, I might break into the 19's. Normally I'd be in the upper 18's. One thing I found was that my quads were on fire. I have to imagine that once these muscles adapt, I can probably eek out a bit more speed. On my road bike, these same muscles never felt this way. |
