O.K, so I did a 11.2 mile loop yesterday that I use to test my fitness. Now, I'm an average cyclist and this loop has some hills. When going all out last year I did it at an average speed of 16.2MPH (I'm no speed demon). This week, on a day with really nasty head winds, I did it at an average of 18.4MPH!
And after the loop I still felt so good that I threw in some other rolling hills (Strawberry Hill in Concord) and ended up with 17.6MPH for 19 Miles.
Its good to see improvement from last year
