That's darn good average speed for that section of the Suncoast. The best I've ever been able to do on that stretch is around mid 16s. I don't do those rollers that often so I guess that's where my weakness lies.
Had a really nice 42 mile, moderately paced solo ride this morning then met up with my buddy Frank and did the last 8 miles with him for a total of 50 miles. While I only need 120 miles to get my second 1,000 mile month for the year, I'm planning on 50 mile rides, each day for the rest of the month, if the weather allows. If all goes well, that should get me to 1,180 miles for the month, 5,256 miles YTD and 39,891 miles overall. Sometimes I wish I was younger than 70 so it would be much easier to do this kind of stuff.
