1:07:03 is no mugs time.
How good it is will depend on
a) How old you are
b) What kind of track you did this on
c) how long you have been riding

My best time is a 1:10 on concrete outdoors. I absolutely think the Kilo is the most disgusting race ever devised
I hate em, I mean REALLY hate em
1:07 would prob get you a backup ride at the worlds in my country though

15, concrete outdoors?
your either a liar or a god

1:07 at 15 would be amazingly fast on any track let alone outdoors. If you seriously did this then you have an amazing gift, no doubt we will here alot about you in the future.

Well over here in Australia you would have placed in top 5 in under 19 (which is 17-18 year olds) Australian Titles. What size gear were you riding?

thats a big gear for a youngster, remembering Aussie is one of the best trake nations in the world (Damn it) to place in the top 5 in U19 on a gear that 99% of 15 year olds would strugle to get over is almost......unbelievable

That time would have put you in 7th place at last years Elite Nationals.

Kilo is a Sadests race.... Just out of Anorobic range....it has to be the nastiest distance to race IMO...

my friend christian stahl holds the junior national record for the kilo at 1:05.3 but i think he was 18 then.

a couple weeks ago i was racing a pro/1/2/3 crit and attacked with about 80 seconds to the finish. it was the hardest effort i ever made. i have done kilos on the road for fun, and they do hurt a lot.

Kilo's for fun? ARE YOU INSANE? thats like saying I spat in Mike Tyson's face for a laugh

Pain isnt when you blow and get dropped, pain is when you blow and have a small lead close to the finish. In to much pain to make it, to competitive not to ignore the pain.
