    Regardless of discipline, who has the most successful cycling resume on here?

    We use to have that radogair chap on here who spoilt every endurance event ever held in Scotland by winning repeatedly.. And terrahawk was equally good as I recall..

    Anyone else? Chance to brag..

    I have nothing to add achievement wise btw..

    Yes, as long as no-one is watching and it’s not being recorded then I am proper fast. Can’t enter any events though so you’ll just need to take my word for it.

    At eating?

    Yes I can eat a big mac and fries (large) in less than a minute.

    Boom

    Edit… Oh you meant on a bike! No not really…. Reason above.

    a view years back I was 87th fastest down Minton Batch… and I stopped to wait for my wee lad……

    Oh, I was less than a minute behind Gee Atherton once. Not bad for a Tuesday night ten.

    Ooh! Just saw that I’m fastest in the STW forumites group on Barry knows best. Might as well retire now, I’m never going to top that.

    Mrs raced mtb worlds in 95 and 96 (back when GB entered people even if they weren’t going to make the podium). Then overdid it and took years to get better. Dabbles a bit now that kids are trying racing.

    I just try to keep up with them all …..

    Thought i was quick until I ran in a northern mens athletic meet at Cleckheaton against Peter Elliot in the late 80’s. Bit quicker than me.

    I’m superfast at eating and downing beer. And when I’m at peak fitness, I’m not too bad at climbing on the road.

    Otherwise, no.

    I’m only fast at eating & drinking.
    I’m not fast on a bike & I can’t fast (as in not eating)
    & I really don’t give a monkeys.

    My brother beat Danny Hart a few times in the Junior/Youth cat and ended up part sponsored. If he hadn’t dropped out of racing for girls/cars/booze he could have been on the worlds, repeatedly told by a lot of top riders that he had huge amounts of natural talent. He’s got back into it recently and it’s always good fun watching him show people up on a crapped out DH bike, he goes bigger now than he ever did when he was racing as he has a lot of extra strength/confidence that has come with age.

    I’m not as fast. By quite a bit. 😀 It’s all about fun though, isn’t it. ❓ 😀 😐 He might as well be an alien, I have that much in common with his ability to read trails.

    I was 21st in the country in my best and first National TT. Averaged 22.25 mph#. Next year I’m aiming for 23.33!

    Compared to the mighty Maybank in our club, I am nowhere! But I do hold one TT record 😀

    #for 12hrs. Surprised myself to be honest.

    Can I have someone’s autograph please, just in case.

    I once finished 90th O/A in a summer Polaris.

    Fast is all relative, I’ve got an engine and a punch so strava kom’s and a top 20 age category Velethon time are all there. But all that does is impresse non cyclists 🙁 I’m no where close to proper racers, and the proper racers I know aren’t close to the pro’s we watch on TV doing the impossible !!!

    I am potentially THE fastest person on STW … past, present, or in the future.

    If only I was younger, fitter, stronger, had better physical and mental genetics, had more discipline and commitment … and a healthier bank account, then I could realise my potential and prove it.

    There are a couple of pretty fast enduro racers I’m aware of on here, though I wouldn’t wanna embarrass anyone by naming names.
