Crazy-B, when you get your new ride, I don't think you'll see anything under 20 mpg avg. given what you’ve accomplished on your old ride. I'm afraid that if I ran into you on the trail with your new Giant in hand that I'd hear you saying "On the left" as you prepared to pass me. Oh well - I can still pass my share. Good luck with the new bike! |

Excellent job! I have trouble getting over 18mph for 25 miles. Just have to keep trying - I know I have a 20+mph ride in me somewhere!
