Might sound odd to some, but I'm finally getting back to riding after we had our son (he just turned 7).

Most of my rides have been on a converted fixie and due to warm up, hammering then cool down (sorta) my ave has been around 17mph.

This works out good because my bike is geared to cruise at 80-100 rpm or 17-22 (72 & 75 GI) and I have a 17 mile loop that I know I can do in an hour, which fits into my schedule. Hope to build up soon to 20-25 miles and some group rides too.
