Went out for a little run on my push-bike in the rain today. My GPS records
the little dash diversion I did from Thornton in Leicestershire towards
Swindon, Wilts and back. On the way back it is clearly seen that I achieved
the speed of 93350.3 mph, so I claim the cycling land speed record. My
little legs are a bit tired, though.

Clearly you were abducted by aliens but you won't remember any of it ;-)

Were you crossing a river and on the kind of track an old-fashioned
non-GPS person wouldn't know about at the time?

Couldn't post the file here, so it can be found under the heading
"misuse" on
altDOTbinariesDOTrecDOTphotoDOTequipment
a remarkably empty place.

That's pretty impressive.

The best I've seen is 176 mph maximum, recorded on the computer after I
rescued it from the washing machine.

No, I was in the pub.

LOL! When younger my daughter was about 3, her response when told she was
too small to do something was: "But I got big legs!" Today she's 5'9".

Impressive. Have you thought about doing time trials? You'd win, you know.

When I was eight, so really quite a long time ago, my family and some
friends decided to climb Goat Fell on Arran, a matter of a mere 874 metres
of ascent. Among the party was one Kitty, then three. On the way down she
begged to be carried, explaining that she 'only had three legs'.

Evidently the stickiness from your molten tyres held you down to the
road as you exceeded escape velocity. And people say bicycles aren't
safe!

My Lidl wireless computer goes mad if I take it into Asda - I think it's
the security scanner thingies. Maybe I should fit it to a trolley and
claim a speed record for that.

It's attached to my first post on the photo site
If you can't get it, I'll email it.
You might need to download the Europe background map from the programme's
site as well, or you can click the button that takes it onto Google Earth.
