Who has wind?

I have no idea what 54:11 is, never mind ultralight bikes and all the rest.

But 45mph on the flat with a tailwind, sounds adrenaline junkie stuff to me - good on you, bet that was a megga speed buzz. Go for it

54 (number of teeth on the largest front ring) 11 (number of teeth on the smallest rear cassette. Basically as you are probably aware the more teeth on the front ring & the less teeth on the rear cassette the harder it is to push the gears at a high cadence.

Isn't the world land speed record for a bicycles over 200 MPH???

Not very nice at that speed though when you feel the bike shift violently to the right or left as it gets hit by the wind!! You have to shift to counterbalance it & then get back into the neutral very quickly!!!

Shockin night...... again.... electric off & on again this week!
Shack creakin & leakin.....
Was goin to bike over hill to Birthday Bash in Whaley..... think party would be over by the time I'd peddled the wind into submission!
Looks like a white van moment instead....

Good fun running downhill into the wind. Tired to fly but it didn't quite work.

Sounds like you should try a bit of paragliding Milli??

to windy still for me on the bike this mornin
i was exausted on some hills
and i always et a bad lower back from havin to stamp on the pedals ( ouch )
my 12mile run has just killed me

[AllanT]

Stamping on the pedals Daz? Aren't you using SPD's?? Try & get a more rounded motion rather than stamping on them, it should save your back. It should be an equal effort all the way round. Also if your back is hurting, climb out of the saddle, it takes the pressure off it.

I've ''passed wind" on my Springer Spaniels face just now
