Behold My Awesome Power

I just got back from a ride and checked my odometer (first time with my new computer).
I covered 12,456 miles in just over 3 hours. That's an average speed of 4,152 mph.
I actually felt like I wasn't moving the bike across the tarmac, instead my awesome power was moving the earth around me (Chuck Norris did this once as well).
I got out of the saddle once and just flattened a hill. I'm going to need to call the Ordnance Survey so they can update their maps after the Sussex countryside has been brutalised by my thighs.
Quadpower(TM) is for girls. What you need is a Mavic Wintech computer. For £100, I have experienced a 277-fold increase in average speed. Feel my power.
I have a new book out for Christmas: "Nuggs - Man or Machine?"

Now that Mavic has made such incredible technological progress, it would be a shame if they built this without including a cycle track:

Sounds like my garmin, I have done a few rides av speed 6000mph!!
I am on my third as they keep switching off mid ride going over a bump, but they keep miles done but reset the clock so end up with stupid stats.0 -
that's nothing - I saw over 290bpm on my heart monitor the other day....0

oldwelshman i know what the trouble is with your garmins. there is a contact strip from the battery attached to the case which presses on the circuit board when the case is pressed together. because the mounting bracket is attached to the case bumps will jolt the contacts temporarily breaking power and causing a swithc off. if you dare open the case they can be soldered with wire jumpers or a small rubber spacer put behind the board for better contact.

solder them up and it will be earthquake proof.0 -
