Some Q's for all these TDF wannabe experts – Page 2 – Bike Forum

There seem to be a lot of questions/comments/BS on here about how good/bad/fit/mental people are compared to the Pros. So.... 1)How far do you cycle a week? 2What's you average speed for the above distance? If the answer to the above is less than 300 miles [b]and[/b]at 23mph, you haven't got a clue so please stop pretending otherwise. I know plenty of fit and fast folk who regularly clock up over 200 miles a week and are capable of riding 50+ miles at a time in less than 2 hours. This sort of level of fitness is decent by amateur standards but still NOWHERE near what the pros do. Sorry, rant over now. And breathe :D

Average speed [url= http://www.endomondo.com/profile/753197 ]12.27km/h[/url]
All on a mountain bike, at least 50% off road.

You must be reading a different thread to me. I don't see a single post that could be interpreted as you describe, even with a good run up.
