Our best so far - 21mph avg over 66 miles at Autumn in Bonham. Over half of it was done solo or with wheel suckers i.e. no drafting help. Our average actually went up when we got dropped and later passed our group.
We'll generally cruise the flats at 21-22. Our fastest was on the flats at 41mph trying to chase down another tandem that was about 1/8 mile out (we didn't catch them...too fast for us). I'm too chicken when it comes to downhill speed -BROCK BROCKKK-.
We find it hard to ride with -uninitiated- singles at rallies. When we fly by on the downhills they seem to think we're trying to break the pack up. They don't understand we're just trying to get everything out of our momentum till we get stuck in slog mode going up the hill. On most of our club rides they'll let us fly by knowing full well they'll easily suck us up and spit us out the back on the hill.
