Covered 3 miles in big gears on pavement with a light tailwind in 7'23", which works out to 22.38mph I think. I did another 6 miles running errands on the Raleigh between bus runs. Ate lunch, rode home, legs are tired. Weather and roads permitting, will do it again tomorrow.
Take that, Exxon. HOO-aahh!
