Get to 22mph avg on a hour and half ride or more (at 17.7mph now) 2. order the bike I want 3. Ride in the BPMS 150 in April. Good Lord willing it will happen soon.
22mph for 90min on a road bike is a pretty epic goal for a dude currently riding a hybrid. I'm not sure you understand it gets exponentially harder. Going from 17->20mph average over my typical test course took a year. 20->21 was another 8 months and 21->22mph was another year or so after that. 23mph average over my 40k course may never happen on my Roubaix, altho I do hit that on my dedicated TT bike.
Of course if you're talking about riding in a pack, then all bets are off. Shoot for 25mph at that point.
