oxford-cambridge on single speed bike

sandeep

I'm planning to do The Oxford-Cambridge charity ride on my single speed bike. Just wondering if anyone interested in that sort of thing at all? As of the moment i do 15-18miles per hour on flat roads on my Single Speed.

Happy to get a reply! 8)

Bacteria are practically all invisible to the naked eye, with a few extremely rare exceptions, such as Thiomargarita namibiensis.[30] They lack membrane-bound organelles, and can function and reproduce as individual cells, but often aggregate in multicellular colonies.[31] Their genome is usually a single loop of DNA, although they can also harbor small pieces of DNA called plasmids.

Are you in a "weird" mood tonight, Westerberg? :?

Hmmph, you need to take the little numbers out, or it looks like you just weren't trying

As for Oxford to Cambrige on an SS = Braver than me

I may be able to drum up a few people for that, sounds fun. I did it a few years ago with gears so could be a new challenge. When is it?

Just found out the date and we are already doing a ride on 3rd Oct. Drop us a PM if you are thinking of doing some others.

We did 170 miles over 2 days across the cotswolds a few weeks back on singles, it's not that bad, honest.

any reply from anyone genuinely interested in doing the race on a single speed. i have got a bianchi c2c and trek 1.5 but my plan is to do it single speed. whats the point of doing a race if its not worth the suffering and elation of the achievement!!

Does not sound like a race to me, far too slow for that.

I've done Oxford to Cambridge a couple of times and have seen a few people on single speeds. There are very few hills and those are only short so as long as you have the fitness to do the 90 miles in the first place I don't think you'd have too many problems on a SS.
