I agree that wind and climbing figures would help to determine effort.
When making claims of distance/speed I always include a Strava link to (a) show the validity, and (b) include climbing data.

See you on the Sea Gull? I've registered, and was hoping to finish at a decent speed.
I did the Bay-to-Bay century (fairly close to where you live) last year at a 19.2 mph average (pacelining the whole way).

True. I'll use this thread as my motivation to chase that goal
