Can you reach the 60 km in one hour?

Wheels of Happiness

Pogacar and the best did for flat and hills at 45 kph.  Most did this at under 40 km/hr.   
The world record for one hour is only 55 kph.  That means 440 sustained watts in one hour.  That is insane.  That hurts.

The record is held by Filippo Gana

The author says that doing 60 is impossible.   Is it just like the same label for sub 3 minutes for a mile that was eventually broken?   Let us wait

Our bike ride to Ternate last Sunday December 1, 2013 was our finest, defining moment

Wheels of Happiness



Angono, Rizal Philippine  | December 5, 2013

Up to now my thighs and body are complaining of pains, a result of last Sunday's ride.  I made an earlier post that was our most challenging, most technical climb.  Gerry and the rest at FB would like to think so.

Compared to various rides:

1.  Real is l00 km ride, there are hill climbs, but we rode the first 100 km one way, spent the night there and road back the following day;

2. Same with Baguio.  We rode 200 km one way up to Urdaneta  slept there and rode Baguio, 40 km away the follwing day.

3.  Bitukang Manok.  That is over 150 km one way, we ride up to Bitukang Manok the last 5 km as the most challenging hard part.

But Ternate was 80 km ride flat one way, 20 km difficult like climbing up Kennon road or Bitukang Manok (but were looking false flat) (total 100 km) ride back the 20 km hard ride and ride back to Angono.  Nothing matched was like it.

That ride separated the boys from men, and showed who were real men.  Real Cyclists

That was our finest moment.  Congratulations everyone.
