Plano trails are marked "15MPH" maximum, so maintaining a 16mph average will be challenging.

They're called 'intervals'.
If a rider has a real jones for paved trails, one can now ride from northwest (Dalrock and Stargazer) to southeast (15th near Central) entirely on trail and far east Plano (roughly 18th & Fireside) to far west Plano (roughly Kings Ridge & Cannon Falls) and only be on the street for ~2 blocks...although those 2 blocks include a death-defying unprotected crossing of Preston.
FWIW, one outfit gave Plano the
highest 'bikeability' score in Texas.
