I never doubt that a 20mph+ average can be held by one of us. We have a lot of really fit members here with several pretty dog gone good racers like Hermes, AZtallRdr, Ex Racer, Velodiva, Allegheny Jet, etc., it is just the fact that people think they have to exaggerate about this. I knew this happened from all my years as a mod on a dirt bike site and the "Bench Racing" done anytime a bunch of riders get together. What does lying about an accomplishment get you? I am sure the insecurity comes into play but what do you gain when you get found out? As Dudelsack said, Strava and other ride with GPS sites can cure this or at least stop some from doing it. I am just at a loss to understand the mindset.

I am too much like Stapfam, I admit I am slow, I am not as fit as I could be or as some others are. Play the Hand You are Dealt and just enjoy all there is about your life.

End rant, I really want to go riding today.
