14 miles on a mountain bike in 1 hour???

Hey guys is it possible to travel 14 miles on a mountain bike in 1 hour? It will only be on frontage roads? Does anyone know if it's possible?I'm in pretty good shape.

Will it kick my a$$

 

Only way to know is to try.

 

It can be done.. I did 4 miles in 12 minutes on my bmx once.

 

^^^yea true,

If I do try it will be tomorrow morning, take off would be at 0655 to try and make my class at 0800, but school is 14 miles away.

This is my bike.

 

Go for it, but I would leave earlier just to get your self enough time.

 

Take an extra tube, just incase you hear pssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I swapped mine out because they were old punctured on my first ride!

 

Lock that shock out and pedal..Only way to know.

 

Hly crap hahaha

 

If it's road riding it is certainly feasible and it will be a work out. Obviously hills are a factor. You might be a little sweaty by the time you make it to school... 14 mph is a pretty decent clip to hold on a mountain bike.

 

depends dude. whats the terrain. uphill/downhill. traffic. all these questions need answers!!!!

 

that's the thing I can't leave early cuz my nephews bus does not take off till 0650.

Last class of the day ends at 2 pm, and his bus gets home at 3pm on the dot.

 

It can be done I do it slowly in 45 mins.

 

You can do it for sure! That a pretty heavy pace for a MTB. I swapped out my dirt wheels for roadies... makes a HUGE difference because your not pushing that extra rubber.

 

Yea there are a few hills, but even small hills seem like mountains sometimes haha, although I would love to try it.

The only thing that holds me back is that I'm afraid I wouldn't make it back in time to wait on my 6 yr old nephew when his bus drops him off. Maybe if I speak with the neighbors, he walks back with the neighbors kid from the bus stop everyday.

 

That's a nice bike by the way.

 

That is a nice bike indeed.

I would try it out on the weekend when you don't absolutely have to make it in time. It would suck to find out the hard way that you couldn't make it in time.

 

Yea Thanks

Some one gave me $hit on the MB thread about the crappy front shocks

Said I should buy a fox fork, but I need monies

Maybe I'll upgrade this summer...

 

Yea you're right, I should wait till the weekend, but knowing that I don't have an hour deadline to make it will only make me go slow.

 

To the gentleman that gave you shit: "F^&$ YOU"

I say rock what you got. I've got a great bike....and everyday I feel like I'm cheating

 

Rock what I got I will.
