six of us rode the 100k healdsburg century this weekend together. our
goal was to average 18+ mph( ride time). i like to ride my roadeo on
these rides because: 1) i am extremely comfortable on the bike ; 2)
the bike has the uncanny combination of being extremely stable on
downhills and carves
I am impressed; I wish I could average 18+ mph for 62 miles.
Regarding the Mini Cooper: you mean the original, not the modern travesty, I
hope. I remember hitching a ride in one of the originals, circa age 15,
1970, outskirts of Nairobi, Kenya, and the young Brit hitting 80 on the 1/2
miles
