Have a new Specialized Allez A1 Sport 27 that took a while to get the proprer fit and saddle.Friday was able to ride 14.5 miles at an average speed of 16.3 mph. Today rode 11.4 at 17.0 mph average (in the rain). The terrain was fairly flat with a few moderate hills(Birmingham,Al). A few observations. Definitely will go with clipless pedals soon. Also,it is not as easy as it looks. After mountain biking for 2 1/2 years I thought I would be able to jump on a road bike and go for a couple of hours from the start. Not gonna happen! Am enjoying the new ride and will continue to give both bikes plenty of use. BTW,I am 42 years old,5'10",185#.
