I felt like I was doing good yesterday when I did 20 miles in 1:41. That was without stopping, an average speed of 11.8 mph.
I be waiting to hear the scoop when you get done with your trip, would love to do something like this (I think).
Sorry, NO.
100 miles in six hours is 16.67 MPH. Big difference to 18 MPH. Meant to be pure biking time. Add one or two minutes for water stop.
I did 50 miles yesterday on a flat prairie path, against and then with the wind. At 18 MPH average.
That was very hard work. The wind was such that one way I averaged 16.5 MPH and the other way exeeded 22 MPH on occasion.
