Danny M

Matt the Tester

thats pretty fast mate! depends how strong you are

it's at the point for me now where i can just spin my legs like a loony upto 60mph then i just dont have the power to get any faster!!

im probs younger then you though

Haha on resistance setting 2/7 I can get mine up to over 80km/h. However on my intervals I aim to hit 50k, which I consider to be a much more realistic pace.

depends how much resistance when you did it, you can reach amazing 'speed' on a turbo

it's much harder on the road with the air resistance, but that's what descents are for :-)

12kph faster than you.

I remember there was a record set for this - Bruce bursford I think ? Involved a high tech bike, oakleys and best of all Uri Geller.
Pretty pointless really - if you Can hit high speeds on the turbo - you probably haven't enough resistance.

I did about 120 kmh the other day when I forgot to clip the roller onto the wheel. I'm now thinking about entering the TdF as most people I know can't go nearly that fast.
