I'm 5' 11" and 185 lbs.

10.6 mph.

Help us out and provide the average MPH too.

If you want to do more road riding (outside of this one event), then get a road bike. But don't expect magic.

I'd guess that you would have maybe done 12mph on a road bike with the reduction in resistance (thinner high-pressure tires, no cheap-assed suspension) and a better aerodynamic position (if you use the drops).
