    I spliced two efforts together since I didn't have the gas to hang with these guys for a full lap!
    GoPro Hero 7 Black 2.7K60fps
    Daily (Monday through Friday)
    Ride
    1. Noon Ride Hains Point (A, B)
    TIME
    12:00pm - 1:00pm
    LOCATION
    3 mile loop behind Jefferson memorial
    DESCRIPTION
    Ride starts at 12:00pm sharp. The first lap is slow to allow riders to group together. Once the first lap is completed, the ride is "full-gas" (race pace) until 1:00pm when people return to their jobs. Great way to break up your work day and have fun riding with groups as high as 50 riders. Monday & Fridays are recovery, Tuesday through Thursday are fast.

    Plot twist: It was actually Usian Bolt running at max speed with a camera

    Wow, the favorite place right in downtown DC to challenge what you've got. We'd go there year round since the '80s. It's about 3 miles, right? The northbound leg frequently has a nice tailwind off the river and reaches 30 mph "no problem" if pumped up from the southbound leg. Highly recommended for some high speed thrills! Thanks for posting!

    Wish they had that technology when you were a kid in London.

    Beware slow bikers, the riders here have been hitting these speeds for over 40 yrs.

    What sustained speed do professionals typically ride on flat rides?

    • @forrestblank
      @forrestblank  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think in a large peloton they sustain speeds from 25-40+MPH depending on how hard they are pushing.

    I’m 64 years old and I can do that fast by myself on long rides!

    Click bait 😂😂. 30 mph less

      True for the first half. The back side th-cam.com/video/uWr1IADBDMA/w-d-xo.html is the fast part. Also, I'm at the very back barely hanging on trying to keep my heart from exploding. No idea how fast the guys at the front are.

      Just kidding, I love those kind of riding.✌
