Update now that I feel more comfortable on bike and can put more attention toward pedaling and starting fast from stops.
The last two 9mi rides were 19.4 and 19.2 mph. This compares to my two best averages of 18.5 on the mountain bike (and one of those was with a tail wind). Not 22% improvement
, but still a nice improvement.
I found I was cruising between lights at 23-25mph instead of the 20-22mph on the mtb. 22% improvement is somewhere to be found in those numbers
