Just to give you an idea of what my riding ability is.
In my previous posts I was talking average spped. I can do a 40 - 50 mile ride of mostly flats and when I'm done my computer usually tells me that I have averaged about 17 mph. (give or take) When I do my 49 mile loop with a decent amount of climbing (Happy Valley Rd., 2 out of 3 Bears, San Pablo Dam Road from El Cerito to Moraga, Pine Hurst to Skyline, then Skyline to Redwood and then back to Lafayette) my computer usually tells me that I went just over 15 mph.
I did my fastest ride ever last week. I did the metric century, (67 miles with 3000 ft vertical) in an organized ride, "Tour of Napa Valley" and had an average speed at the end of 17.2 mph. I had to push VERY hard to make that speed. All this is riding alone with no pace-line. I don't do enough riding in a pace-line to have any idea what that average would be.
