On July 1, 2010, on Clay Street in Blacksburg, Virginia, officials were measuring speed. My downhill speed at the beginning of a bike workout: 31 mph.
Biking back up Clay Street at 5 mph, I had plenty of time to wonder if the device would measure human speed. I didn't mind at all putting my bike in the grass to run by in my bike shorts and bike helmet. 7 mph. I finished biking home, got a cap and a camera, and ran by again. 8 mph. One more time.
9 mph. Hammer time.
I know my Hammer time will be brief. Unofficial results of various endurance tests offered by the unofficial Clay Street Mile are kept on Handshake 2.0. Notice where I stand in the rankings.
The Clay Street Mile is an uphill climb of 217 feet in Blacksburg, Virginia.
