  6. This is a hypothetical question: Yesterday, while I was out for a good little ride, it dawned on me something I had read somewhere - Pro cyclists are capable of massive average speeds due to the fact that the peleton helps them retain their energy - getting dragged along on someone's wheel etc. (Thats not to say that those guys who break away are not demons in their own right, to top the high average speeds of the peleton!) Let say Chris Froome did the CTCT - COMPLETELY alone - no team, no domestique, no other riders around him - what might be his average speed (Lets assume that it was a perfect day too)? The reason I ask this is because I can only relate to the CTCT wrt average speeds. My best time for the Argus was 2:45 - Ave of 39KM/H. Any hypothetical answers?

  18. Hi. Need some friendly advice. Obviously the title is a bit DUH! but there is method to my madness. I need to buy a bicycle asap so that I can start training for CTCT (yes I know its late but I do a lot of other riding) I have done it a few times in the past on a 26" MTB and completed it relatively easily at the 6 hour mark or so. I have since sold that bike so need to find something new and better. I am doing the race with friends and family who are probably less fit than I am but they will be on road bikes. My goal is to beat my own time and that's about it. Hopefully keep up with those I am riding with. I could get a road bike but besides for the CTCT I am not really interested in road races. Kind of feel it would be a waste having the bike sitting in the garage for 10 months of a year. I feel I could get a lot more use out of a 29er hardtail MTB. I guess the million $ question is how much slower is a 29er hardtail MTB with slicks compared to a road bike? I had a Silverback Sola 29er for a few months earlier in the year and I was MUCH faster on it than my old 26er. Another option is to attempt it on my Giant Reign (160mm enduro bike) but I think I will probably die doing 100+ km on that. Thanks
