I've ridden lots of different roads, but the terrain in my area doesn't vary a lot. I just returned to riding after being off for several years, and my average back then was 13 to 16 MPH depending on conditions - but 90% of the time, it would fall in that range. I'm sure that's true for most riders. I think people just like being contrary and argumentative. I should have known better than to ask. To those who responded maturely with useful information - and several did - thank you.
