so you admit that cycling isn't a sport and is a joke?

152 miles at 26 mph. And he climbed roughly 1300 feet.

I've done 100 miles, dead flat land, and struggled to maintain 15 mph. It was by far the hardest physical thing I have ever accomplished.

This kid is pretty damn good.

Awesome!!! I believe Taylor has the talent to become a monster in the spring classics.

The US version of Spartacus.

i'm a bit crazier into cycling, but my 2 proudest achievements are along those lines

1. maintaing 25mph for 1 hour solo (25 mile time trial)
2. completing 100 miles in under 4 hours (3 hours 51 minutes to be exact) in a fast-paced century peloton in clarksville TN. the only way we were able to achieve it was having a full police escort the entire way clearing traffic and stoplights ahead of us.



i doubt i'll ever achieve #2 again.
