Felling okay about that.
And you should too. Unless you're just rolling along in a pace line on a flattish course (in which case, averaging 20 MPH is no biggie) there are damn few people who can sustain a 20 MPH average speed over that kind of distance.
I know lots of people who enjoy riding centuries and DCs for time. It's never appealed to me. Weather is a huge wildcard, so comparing one year's time to another year's time is of limited value. And unless it's a declared race, what's the point of comparing your time to others?
