I go by feel. If i feel good, i push. If i feel like crap, i take it easy. I dont like to go too slow and lazy because it reduces my sense of awareness of the traffic around me. I dont ride on trails, my route is all roads and it gets really insanse around Jessup/Columbia dodging 18 wheelers getting on and off 1-95.
