I have to disqualify myself though - my recumbent is not UCI legal!
Cheers,

Lansdowne Crit race at 36.7km/h

If you want a quick ride in sydney, start on the M2 near windsor rd and follow it onto the M7 to the end, sticking to the shoulder the whole way. Its fast going.

yep, wheel sucking in both of those, they were just as a comparising to my earlier post, shows how much more speed you can get with a good wheel suckcolafreak wrote:The crit would include wheelsucking wouldn't it?leximack wrote:sydney to the gong at 32km/h

My true solo one that i have recorded is 30.X km/h for 75km (2hr 28mins)
I have to go and smash myself solo for 1hr and see what i can do.

Also if people are going to seriously post here, it would also be good if they have their computer calibrated well by doing getting average wheel circumference of their tyre from a weighted 10 rotation distance.
Also if people could post their weight, it would give us idea of the difference in weights versus the differences in speed. I may be wrong about this but believe a bigger person is likely to have a power to wind resistance advantage on a smaller person. The same as when going down hill.

Will keep you posted.
Target to beat is 45.641km. (182.6 laps of DGV)
Must be done on a UCI accredited velodrome so there are no wind/hill advantages and distance is precisely measured based on laps.

Just came back from my first ATTA Time Trial - a 40km effort and remember looking down at the speedo after an hour - 35.4kph.
I'm ashamed to say that I only spent about 4 or 5 pedal revolutions in big ring though ... I need to work on getting some power in my legs
