Today I found myself working to maintain 11.5 mph as I descended a 3% hill. I doubt I'd be moving at all if I would have attempted coasting. The effin' wind kept me below 12mph for the vast majority of my commute, some of it even below 10mph as I struggled in 36/24 and even dropped into 36/27 on some sections.
Good thing I only ride for fun. I still won't complain if we get some decent weather.
