Q was on the news tonight showcasing his riding skills... they were doing a piece on the growing population overflowing into wildlife territory and they show Q flying up storm mountain in Big Cottonwood Canyon looked to be going 23-25 mph. What was that an 8% grade in your big ring?

I think he was

My newbiness doesn't afford me to be sarcastic sometimes...

I haven't looked at it, but how fast did he look?

If he's speeding up the canyon, then he call pull the group for the four plus hours at ULCER, with Viking giving him an occasional rest.

I mean, I'm sure he was going 3 times as fast as I could. Or better put, he is going faster than me walking my bike up the canyon.

Even the professionals don't charge up steep canyons at 23 mph.

I really have no idea... I think they filmed him at the mouth of the canyon with a steady incline. If I had to guess he was anywhere from 13-15 mph. I fully expect everybody to be pulling me through ULCER. I'm good for 30 seconds every 45 mins to an hour.

Thats right MW. It was at least 26mph.

Heres the link, as I had to search around a little bit to find it.

I watched it already. Not 26mph. More like 40mph.

Only if I can find that EPO I hid in a moment of guilt. I really just planned on doing a Waters the whole day.
