You were kicking some gleutus maximus averaging that speed with lights. Its fairly tough to do 20mph average in my area. If I do the 23 mile ride in 1.5 hrs, then its only doing around 15.3 mph. Prolly could go a bit faster but would be baked for the same return trip home for sure. Chapeau to you for still riding. Ride that Eddy Merckx like you stole it!
