So today I went on a solo bike ride to Stillwater,MN and back starting from my place in Maplewood,MN. I have doe this once earlier this year with a few friends but took us over 6hrs due to some complications on the way back. My goal was to do this again but solo to see how fast I could do to there and back.

This is my first year biking and my goals were to average a minimum of 18mph on my 8mi commute, drop 15lbs and log in 1000mi of biking. So far I have achieved all of these goals so I guess I should be proud of myself. I just love it when I show up to group rides and all these roadies doubt that I could keep up with them. I should also mention that I usually average 16mph on 20mi+ rides but today I feel like I was at my best performance. Thanks to all the people on this forum for giving me motivations to stay with my singlespeed, thanks!
