Cycling Land Speed record
|

| Went out for a little run on my push-bike in the rain today. My GPS records
the little dash diversion I did from Thornton in Leicestershire towards
Swindon, Wilts and back. On the way back it is clearly seen that I achieved
the speed of 93350.3 mph, so I claim the cycling land speed record. My
little legs are a bit tired, though.
Couldn't post the file here, so it can be found under the heading "misuse"
on
altDOTbinariesDOTrec
DOTphotoDOTequipment
a remarkably empty place.

Clearly you were abducted by aliens but you won't remember any of it ;-)

YA Alan Holmes AICMFP.
Were you crossing a river and on the kind of track an old-fashioned
non-GPS person wouldn't know about at the time?

| I am jealous!! Not only do I have a hard time pedaling faster than 15 mph
for a long period of time, but my GPS won't function at speeds approaching
those of a stealth missle - apparently by design to avoid having civilian
GPSs used as cheap guidance systems by some folks. So not only do you have
a super bike, but a super GPS as well!

LOL! When younger my daughter was about 3, her response when told she was
too small to do something was: "But I got big legs!" Today she's 5'9".

Impressive. Have you thought about doing time trials? You'd win, you know.

When I was eight, so really quite a long time ago, my family and some
friends decided to climb Goat Fell on Arran, a matter of a mere 874 metres
of ascent. Among the party was one Kitty, then three. On the way down she
begged to be carried, explaining that she 'only had three legs'.

Evidently the stickiness from your molten tyres held you down to the
road as you exceeded escape velocity. And people say bicycles aren't
safe!

It's attached to my first post on the photo site
If you can't get it, I'll email it.
You might need to download the Europe background map from the programme's
site as well, or you can click the button that takes it onto Google Earth.
