I'm the world's greatest cyclist, MAX HR 191 on my turbo.

Want to do a Hill race ASAP as I'm pretty good.

Anyone know any races ?

Tour de France 2004 would be a good place for the world's greatest cyclist to start. Show Lance he's
second best on those climbs

Tony

PS I can beat your MHR. Does that make me even better?

Pah! Feeble! At several races during the 2003 season mine was over 230 for twenty minutes or more. I
discount /absolutely/ the possibility that anything could have been interfering with its litle
electronik brane...

I saw mine over 200 once, but I'd turned into an animal at the time, not to mention nearly knocking
over a Gendarme who was stopping cyclists getting to the finish line of the final climb.

Matter of fact he knocked me off trying to stop me. He couldn't stop apologising bless him. I became
human again after a rest, I just didn't want to stop and rest on the last 100m, I mean you can't can
you no matter how much you need to cos you're half dead and all.

Mountains are not for me.

Sorry, but neither is your MHR very high nor does it tell you anything about how good you are.

How does the registration number of your 1.0ltr Vauxhall Nova "turbo" make you the world's
greatest cyclist?

Most clubs have one, often near the end of the season. The real experts do it on a fixie for minimum
weight, but AFAIK you have to leave the seat and seatpin in place.

That's nothing!

Even doing something fairly moderate, such as driving my car, my MaxHr can often peak at well over
330. Especially if I'm indicating.

Infact, I can keep this up for hours on end. Once, I got from London to Manchester in 2hr 30min with
an average Hr of 296, burnt 15,730 calories and didn't even feel tired at the end!

Just think how fast I can climb hills as a result!

That's a molesworth-peason elektronic brane to you, never to be confused with the brambleweeny 57
sub-meson brain.

I thought he was just one of those people who lives under bridges and eats billy goats.
