[RBW] who needs carbon? (healdsburg century ride)

2010-07-18 Thread dpco
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
