I posted about my first ride earlier, and today I did my 2nd and I'm alot more impressed with the results.
I managed to do 50 miles in 3 hours and 40 mins on my 2nd ride, is this any good at all?

10 year old kids do minimal training and then go on week long cross state bike rides. It takes very little to ride a bike.
15-16mph is not fast. But it got you 50 miles in the direction you are going.
Just go out and ride your bike.

50 miles is a good distance for a 2nd ride. Too many variable affect speed - gradient, winds etc. An easy way to measure progress is to do this same ride down the road sometime after you've been riding regularly for awhile. There will still be factors affecting speed variatuions, but you'll have a frame of reference for yourself, which unless one is racing is all that really matters.
