But then, if you were really interested, you could've done your own conversion. And why so slow? The speed at which someone rides is relative to his abilities, and according to his objectives. Don't you even know this? You some sort of newbie? |

"Alan Holmes" wrote in message ... What is that in english? You mean in English what? RP, Liverpudlian, Mancunian, Cockney? Or did you want Imperial measurements? (As used by those older than me who can't grasp something as simple as working in units of ten, clue: fingers and thumbs). And why so slow? So I'll expect to see you hanging on Lances wheel again this year wearing your strip for The Wait At Top club. -- Regards, Pete |

"dailuggs" wrote in message ... cheers to everyone who stood up for my slowness anyway It's not particularly slow for a leisure cyclist, and I think that term applies to most of us on this NG. Terrain and weather make a big difference too, for instance where I ride in SE Leicestershire my average may be about 17mph (used to be a tad higher but age has slowed me and it's not a race anyway) but riding around the Peak district this drops to 12.5 mph on the road and into single figures off-road. My road bike is the only one fitted with a computer and while it's a point of interest to see how far and how fast plus a gauge to my fitness, which I like to keep on top of, at the end of the day the figures are irrelevent to the wider world and the true measure of the ride is how much I enjoyed it. Enjoy your riding and ignore ****s. -- Regards, Pete |

95400 Saxon poles a day (more /usr/share/units.dat | grep axon) And why so slow? Sounds a nice day out to me. AC |
