Re: What Is Your Average Speed? (20 miles/32 km)
Doesn't it depend on the terrain and whether it's an individual effort or in a bunch?
In any case, that 31-40 band is a pretty wide one. A lot of riders are sitting in that range.

Re: What Is Your Average Speed? (20 miles/32 km)
It's many years since I raced.
Myself and a couple of my old team mates had the fanciful idea, last year, of taking part in Vets races (to race as a Vet you've to be over 35 years old) this season and doing Paris-Brest-Paris too. I had always kept my hand in on the bike after I finished racing : and I average between 16 - 20mph. I thought that I would be able to race at the least. But try as hard as I can, my average speeds never exceeded that range (16-20mph). My mates quickly gave up the idea of competing when they were struggling to hit 15mph (it's over 20 years since they got on a bike in anger).

Re: What Is Your Average Speed? (20 miles/32 km)
26-30... was doing 40, would probably be in 41+ for shorter runs (say 30-40K) if it wasn't for a broken arm. This is on pretty much flat ground (hills seem to not exist around here) FWIW. All that being said I'm doing a lot longer rides now than before I broke my arm.
EDIT: screw my vote and everything I just said, didn't read the 32K part... |
