Savageuni and I rode about 27 mph today on our 36ers. That was our estimated air speed anyway. Our actual ground speed was much less since we were riding into a very strong headwind.
Savageuni is the proud owner of a brand new Nimbus 36er.
This post is just highlighting the fact that I didn’t know the difference between air speed and ground speed. to wikipedia!
Does that mean you guys were airborne?
Or were they just still-standing in a strong headwind?

Wow, that means that those of us who raced in the Marathon Road race at Unicon XV were probably riding close to 70-80km/hr.
Why not factor in the speed of the Earth’s rotation? You were going much much faster than you think!
and at SINZ on the rail trail in the dust storm…I wonder how fast that would be 
You mean this? I imagine well over 120km/hr
Sideways. 
Not to mention the Earth’s solar orbit, or the solar system’s orbit around the galactic center, or…umm…oh…sorry.
Gah!
I had my computer at full volume when I clicked on that link and I scared the crap out of myself!
I hope you got a video of that, too.
Another video - showing the dust storm that day:
Edit: yes, turn volume down haha.
I was clocked going 28 mph downhill on my 36’er by some fellow bicyclists a few months back.
me too:o
Congrats Savageuni on your new uni!
