Ditto on what the others have said
I go on climbing rides every weekend and I seem to always have average speeds around 10 mph. The rides are usually between 20-40 miles and 2,400-3,500 feet of climbing. I ride in the flatlands around here every day but I don't have a computer on any of my bikes so I have no idea what my flatland speeds are. They probably suck because I usually ride adult trikes, which are slow. Sometimes I'll ride my hybrid or recumbent tadpole trike. Those are faster. I use my Garmin on the climbing rides only.
You don't have to be ashamed to let your Fred flag fly here. We don't practice
snobbery. I know I'm probably considered a Fredette on other forums and I'm damn proud of it!
Function before form.
