Vestal, NY
At A Glance:
Total Distance: 10 miles
Total Time: 41 minutes
Total Climbing: 1 mile, 480'
Average Speed: 14.6 mph
Top Speed: 49.3mph

All done on my hardtail with 1.5 slicks

Details:
1st Leg: all down hill - 1.8 miles, 975'
2nd Leg: rolling road - 4.9 miles, no significant elevation change
3rd Leg: 2 short climbs - first climb is .7 miles, 290' - progressive hill... the further you go, the steeper it gets - second climb is .3 miles, 190', also progressive
4th Leg: all downhill - 1.8 miles, 511'


My ride home should be just the opposite... so now I get to climb up those big hills :rolleyes:... total climbing should be something like 3.6 miles and 1486' :dead:

Since a few of you were posting this last week, the fastest I could spin and still keep resistance at the cranks was 41.2mph. After that, I couldn't keep up.

On a steel road bike with 20mm tires.
I don't haul ass until after work. No sense getting sweaty.
