#112mph

Amongst the modifications used to get to the 112mph the following had the biggest impact.  First Guy would need to ride behind a pacing truck.  The bike required a custom compound gear system, avoiding a single enormous front chain ring. Martin needed to use Continental Top Contact 50mm for stability.  And had a tow bar welded to the head tube that contained a mechanism to release a cable attached to the pacing truck at 50mph.  All of this still required a rather bold guy willing to put it all on the line and to pedal at this speed.   At 112mph, Martin’s cadence was 97rpm, and the wheel was spinning at 1,460rpm.

For all THPL community members we can see, through Guy’s performance that high performance is achievable, at any level as long as you think about how to get there.  You just need to break down how you can make the “improbable”….possible and then set out to do it.  It takes creativity, determination, and then execution to get there but as Guy showed, it is indeed possible to take it to the next level, next level indeed.   

Loving life while going very fast!
