My gut is telling me that even in great shape, after two weeks on a bike that 22.65 mph is probely the most realistic.

If the OP wants to prove himself, he's got to go all out with a helmet cam, calibrated bike computer, and post the results. Until then, it's all just words spoken on the internet and most won't believe him.
You nailed I read your post. I checked the millage at a few sites and checked it twice at a Google map hack. I came in at about a 21.8 MPH average. Not 24 but I'm still very happy. Also it would appear i gave a few people a good chuckle or charge. Oh well I'll keep at it and work my way up there.


You see now we are all happy .. you are human !! no superman !!! about 21-22 mph is more probable,go ahead and train !! if you are young and have desire and the physical attributes you said you have you can do good....
