What is the average speed of this forum? Is the terrain hilly? Is there a deli stop?

Has anything changed or is it still the same mix of repetitively banal topics, fred hand-wringing and road-nazi head banging?

One page 1 you'll find a nice appetizer in the form of a helmet debate.
For the main course you have a choice of whether rotating weight and micro-acceleration is a thing, or will carbon explode.
Then for desert, various juicy inquiries of which is best between a 2013 giant defy expert vs 2014 specialized roubaix comp tiagra or some such

Since I'm a eunuch kind of guy thanks to prostate cancer, I'm shooting for 17.5mph for 23 hours at 2018 Bike Sebring 12/22 Hours RAAM Qualifier if my Gleason 10 does get me before then. Live for the moment people since you NEVER KNOW.

And to the OP, my guess for the forum as a whole, all rides under all conditions, would be 15.75 mph, 22.25' elevation gained per mile and yes, often as not.

Bikes: ...a few.
27.2 km/h this morning on mix of gravel and road for, somewhat hilly, for 66 km. Could have been higher, but the damn gravel and hills slowed me down.
8:30/mile for 8.30 miles running yesterday
Currently typing 50 wpm.
Sometimes I walk on my treadmill while watching TV at 4.5 mph.
Usually drive 10 km/h over the posted speed limit when traffic is clear. I'm told cops bother stopping you at that speed.

Hrmm so semi serious question here....never 'trained' before...just rode to ride. But looking at doing some beginner rackng this year. How hard should you be going during intervals? For a scale....an effort of 1 for me would be sub 15mph, or intentionally going slow, 20mph is about my max sustainable speed over a decent amount of time. Or should intervals be flat out sprints?
