Many many years ago (about 20!), a group of 4 of us were riding round the Trossachs, 2 had ‘calibrated’ computers (one was in a serious road club and the bike had been set up specifically and the computer had also been set up- he then took it on the recognised 10 mile TT course and got 10 miles on it…so he claimed it was calibrated)…anyway, we were chasing down some cars on the way into Aberfoyle and at the bottom his computer claimed 66mph.
Absolute rubbish as there was no way we were doing 66mph…we overtook every car on the way down but given most cars don’t go over 30-35mph I find it impossible to believe we did 66mph.
However, due to the extreme testing he went to to ensure it was ‘calibrated’, I do enjoy telling the tale…utter mince but the computer did claim it.
