Curious to hear how you guys and gals figure your ETAs at the controls and various other points along the route where you might want to stop. My route is dead flat and the weather looks to be very good (warm and dry with a slight headwind or cross-wind during the day). I've figured rolling averages of 15mph during daylight and 13mph at night for our group, plus a total of 7 hours off the bike. What do the rest of you do?
we figured a rolling average of 12.6 to 13.5 mph with 6:15 off the bike at official stops.
i built in some cushion - the time to cover a distance was rounded down during the day, and up over night.
we'll see how it works out.
