Average weekly base miles > 40-100 miles
Average speed > 15.5 - 17.5 mph (depending on elevation gain)
Average cadence > 85 - 100 rpm's
Group average speed (on flats) > 15 - 17 mph
Group cadence > 80 - 90 rpm's
On the group ride, I had to guess at cadence. I washed the bike the day before, forgetting to cover the Cateye wireless sensor. Had only speed during the ride and Sunday on a recovery ride, no cadence or speed.
On weekly base miles; struggling to find enough time to ride this year. Plus, lots of wind and rain doesn't help the motivation.
I'll need to keep working on fitness both on and off the bike, and stretching. The later, is something I don't do often enough, certainly not after every ride.
