Did my second 160km road ride on the weekend!

« on: April 08, 2008, 10:08:52 AM »

Did my second 160km road ride on the weekend! Here are some stats from the day� This was all done on my MTB, so I'm pretty happy with my results.

First 50km: 28.3 kms/hour (1.8 hours)
Second 50km: 20.4 kms/hour (2.5 hours)
Third 50km: 19.6 kms/hour (2.6 hours)

First 80km: 26.2 kms/hour (3.1 hours)
Second 80km: 18.8 kms/hour (4.3 hours)

--------------------------------------
Total 160km: 21.9 kms/hour (7.3 hours)
--------------------------------------

Would love some peoples feedback, did it on a MTB 2.10 tires at 60psi... 115kg for rider and bike Wink

I don't know if this is good or bad... but like an idea!

Thanks,
PaulHamon

PS Pretty happy with myself reguardless.

Re: Did my second 160km.... ANYONE UP FOR A CENTURY?

Great job Paul!
I've been riding road centuries on an MB for a couple of years now. About 5 under my belt now. Your times are good. I'm also in the 7-8 hour range, discounting flats. Angry

Friend and I doing another on 19th, Thai holiday, roads fairly quiet. Buddhamonthon-Nakhon Pathom and back, loop route, different scenery each way.

Anyone who wants to join us is welcome if they're capable of doing a self-supported long ride like this. I'm aiming to improve my time to 6.5 hours. Maintain 28-29 kph most of time and keep stops very minimal; just buy drinks, stretch a little and push on.

Email me at ajaarna@yahoo.com if interested. Just keep in mind this is self-supported; I can't provide anything except good advice
