I'll never make 20mph average despite my route to work being mostly downhill. With six+ miles of gravel with several creek bottoms to climb out of and a larger river bottom climb I don't get to really take advantage of overall decline. Once on black top it's not too bad with only a couple stop signs and a couple lights. Going home there's no chance with all the climbing on the gravel road. My speed can also be affected with the condition of the gravel. Last Friday the gravel was loose and dusty, today, after a long weekend rain, it was packed and fairly fast. Traffic can be a pain, especially in the spring when the deer are moving in small herds in the hay fields. I have had to stop to let them cross in front of me.
