I have a few folks I ride with regularly (Tuesday and Thursday nights) that ride in the Senior games. One, a female, medaled in the last one. Her husband also competed--I think he is 68. He indicated he could not believe how fast some of the folks were. He finished with the pack but was well off the pace.....I did timing for the local qualifier that feeds into the State games. There are a lot of participants in that event locally but the real competition is on the State level.

And yes, with some work you can average 22 mph for that distance. Just hook up with some faster riders and keep after it.
