if you want to know where you stack up, find a group ride and rie with others.

How fast you ride by yourself is subject to so many variables, it is pretty much a worthless measure, and when you're riding by yourself it just doesn't matter how fast or slow you are.

I can do intervals with a tailwind and move along at 27mph.

I can do an endurance ride in hilly terrain and average 13mph.

Neither of those numbers do you much good.
