Ouch! Well, I don't know my speed when I'm trying for speed. Also don't know my speed after 5-6 weeks of spin classes. But last (also first) time I clocked I was doing 7mph. Of course, that was meant to be a stroll, but still ... How about I trail behind you and slipstream. You've prob'ly got nice calves too, just never saw yourself from that perspective.
