when i read the title, i though it was a motorBIKE....i was thinking that was kinda long on a motorcycle, but since it was actually a bike...that changes it
the most i have ever ridden is like 25 miles....(--km) and i didnt do it in under two hours, might have been able to, but it took a bit longer i think
congrats on it though

thats great! and awesome that its for charity!
get a racing bike, or borrow one if you only will use it once a year, not worth the money! and dont carry anythimng but water and power bars, i bet if you tried hard you could hit 35-40kph

congrats, that is pretty quick on an mtb. How was the terrain? Flat? Any wind?. However don't underestimate the additional effort to make it to 30 kph. Hit the road often before that attemptOriginally Posted by KnifeEdge_2K1

this sounds highly optimistic to me. Time for a challenge I suppose. I have a 50 km lap around the island which I can do at 32 kph average when I am in good shape (rarely these days) and when the winds are favourable (even more rare). I use a rather more sophisticated bike to get there.my topspeed on my bike(normal) is an astunishing 53 km/h.speed was 55 km on the scale of my friends scooter minus a correcting of two kilometres.i used to outrun him easily until he ot to about 40 km/h

My current bike is similar to this but newer.
