There are plenty of club rides around here and if you're going to ride with an A group, you'd better plan on riding at 20 MPH average, minimum. Some of the clubs have 23MPH + groups. Last year, at the MS 150, I rode with a 20MPH average speed group for 72 miles......
then crawled in the last 28.
Some of the folks in these fast groups are in their 50's, a few are card carrying medicare recipients, i.e. over 65. Yup it can be done.
