I have not posted in a while. But i check the site all the time. I got a new item for my Road bike. I bought a Garmin 800 for my bike. Here are all the specs.
http://g.factoryoutletstore.com/deta...-edge-800.html . I got the bundle setup, which comes with a speed & cadence meter & a Heart rate monitor & maps. The bundle normally costs $650.00, with me working at a bike shop at the time & haggling. i got the price down to $545.00. I had enough credit built up that, it only cost me $65.00 out of pocket. This thing does everything.It also has the capability of running a Power meter if i get one in the Future. A power meter for those who don't know. Is a device that measures how many watts a person is producing, when there on the Bike.

You'd prob enjoy your bike the most if you removed the seat.

Heya Mike!

If your up to 26mph average with that relative short training, you sure have got a tallent! I think it would be nice to do some races, seriously, those are very decent speeds.

I'm good for about 8500 km a year now, but my personal record stands at 36,5 km/h over a 30 km distance. (driving alone though) Granted, i never train for high speeds, my goal is to go as fast as possible with a lowest possible heartrate. (efficiency) i did train 'higher' though, untill my heart-issues happened. My new 'efficiency record' was 29,6 km/h over 68 km, with an average of 127 heartrate. (not bad, considering it took me 172bpm for about 7 years back. These relative 'slow' trainings enabled me to hold 45 km/h (28mph) for a longer distance. I now can enjoy a 'slow' training over a fast one. Don't know if you've noticed how a lower temperature causes your speed to go down and heartrate to go up? I'm stronger during the summer, with a bigger explosion/powerburst potential.

My best ride was 75 miles with a 20 mph average. The highest i have had my Heart rate was 186 Bpm. I recently changed my cassette. I went from a 11/23 to a straight block 12/21. Were i live is pretty dam flat. Depending how I'm feeling & the wind, i can usually keep it over 20 mph.
