Just trying to calibrate my progress. In neutral wind, on flat road, I generally cruise about 14/15 mph. Where does that land with you experienced riders? Am I a pig-sloth or just a quick cow?
After 8 months (& 4000 miles) of working back into shape after some knee and back and stolen bike issues...I may not be the best example, but last weekend did an easy 58 miles loop at 15.8 mph average, and a hard 20 mile loop at 19.8 mph average. Both pretty flat terrain. I don't usually look at averages myself, but someone else asked earlier.
