I've lurked on these boards for a couple years now. and was always amazed by the average speeds reported by the many cyclists in my age group (40 or so)
Well today I rode an old route that had just been recently paved and gained nearly 5mph over a 20 mile ride...
So I wonder what these numbers REALLY mean, without knowing the conditions.
Really means some of us here are just fast 🙂 my fastest race was 58 miles in 2:14 and 90 miles in 3:55 my fastest solo 80 miles in 4:05. i think the wind and hills makes the most impact on speeds.
gaining 5mph was probly a mix of the road being smooth wind at your back and perhaps you were just stronger on that ride.
