[Closed] Anyone on here properly fast?

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.

reasonably quick in a boat but pretty slow on two wheels

Gary Fisher or Adam Craig I imagine

657 on Barry Knows Best - boom!

That kid in his blue 661 pyjamas *must* be fast...

.

I got 30mph today, on a bicycle. Bow before me.

You don't get a prize for 17th place. As I discovered.

They are on the other "secret" forum

I have hit 47mph* on a raleigh mtb with one "working" cantilever brake...

*very briefly downhill on a road

According to the wife I am 🙁

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.

George Budd (Gee on here) has won many a thing over the years

Different people are quick at different things. Some quick over 200 miles off road, Rob Colliver for example , some quick at 20mile TT's, some quick over 1hr xc races.

I thought this was a new year diet thread

I went from upright to lying in an ice cold puddle at the side of the road at world record pace yesterday.

Bronze medal in a national championship road race?

(LVRC handicap 😀 )

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.

5 kom's to my name, make of that what you will.

For about 2 years I was ,for a middle aged bloke.I got medals to prove it too.Apart from constantly being hungry,tired and aching it was ok.
Now I'm fat and slow again.

at every discipline, including bicycle gymnastics

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.

The current nat hill climb champ is a member on here!

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 !!!

Raddogair is a monster

3rd in the Torq 12:12 6hr hour veteran pair!

Boom!

(Always pick a category that fast people don't enter)

I was once the fastest stationary rider in Bristol 😉 (rollapalluza)

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.

Dave from Hope Racing is on here a bit and he's quick. Dan from Hope also pops up here every now and then.

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.

Well, if we're showing off...

I'm Indian national stone skimming champion.

I'd like to be faster on a bike, but unfortunately I don't have asthma.

In some other regards, I am pretty quick. I can clear a plate of lamb dopiaza, rice and a naan in a potentially world-beating time.

I have a KOM

The police warned me to slow down earlier.

Note to self, work harder to make it onto next years STW new years honours racers list.

MrsTHtobe was a national 24hr MTB champion (as part of a team of 4 ladies)

That they were the only team in the category matters little to her...
