I credit my local bike group for my speeds, if it weren't for their encouragement and pushing me to the edge of my limits frequently (like last night) I'd still be poking along and probably a fair bit heavier as well...

Not saying I'm going to be winning any races any time soon, but I do plan on doing time trials this year. Last year, our fastest rider averaged 27 mph, then there was a large group averaging around 25. I hope I'll be able to average over 20.

Forgot to mention, I had to re-tension the rear wheel again, it started making intermittent pops last night. Remember this is not the original Denali wheel, but a higher quality one bought at a local bike shop. I have not had to re-tension or otherwise bother with the stock Denali front wheel. That isn't to say that one day I won't upgrade both for some weight savings.
