Calculating average mph...
ok, so I failed math several times in school....so for those of you who are not sos challenged....
There is a local climb here that is 1.75 miles with an average grade of 13.5%. I only mention the grade to draw attention to the difficulty. The current time trial record holder is the owner of a local bike shop and his time was 14.11 in 2007.
My question is simply...given the distance and the time he completed it in, what would his average miles per hour be?

Keep on climbing
14 minutes 11 seconds is (14 / 60) + (11 / 3600) = 0.236 hours
1.75 miles / 0.236 hours = 7.4 mph
1.75 miles / 0.236 hours = 7.4 mph
