Since fitting a sigma speed odometer (a couple of months ago) to my
galaxy, I've been monitoring my average speed... both to get an idea
of how long it takes to get somewhere (for planning) and whether it
improves as I do (I started cycling 4 months ago)
I'm much better at estimatiing how long it will take me to get
somewhere, but my average speed as been consistantly around 18-20km/h.
Today I had to be somewhere quickly, the extra pressure must of helped
because I covered 25km (on road and no major hills) in 61 minutes...
or an average of 24.6km/h... I'm now very pleased.. yet gutted I
didn't break 60 minutes.
Yes its along way off the record... 50.355 km/h over 194 km (
