I normally use this bike for hill sprints, so I want to mess around with some higher gearing and try it again (also figure out a better timing method).
In case anyone is familiar with the area, this is the route I used:
I'm a little confused--100 meters in 9 seconds is just under 25 mph average, is the 31.5 mph your peak speed?
Either way, well done! You're approximately as fast as Usain Bolt on the same distance.
