I have been meaning to share with you...
I have a friend on FB.. I don't really know him.. I think he knew who I was from the pow wow circuit.
He is in his mid 20's... and is trying to raise money and awareness of fibromyalgia [he has it himself]
He wants to ride from Vt. [where he lives] to Florida. He was going to leave tomorrow.. but is delaying it until Monday because of the storm.
He just recently got a bike... a Roadmaster.
His schedule has him doing 85 miles a day.
He did post the other day... going for his first ride.. he was averaging 16.6 mph. I don't know if that was it actual average for the whole ride.. after the ride?
I have seen enough people look down at the computor while on the flats.. and that becomes there average.
Then he posts about riding 2 miles casually in just over 5 minutes.
That works out to 24 miles per hour.
I think it is great what he is trying to do.. but I also feel sorry for him.. I don't think he has a clue.. what he has ahead of him..
