We had some decent hills that really slowed me down (I need to expand my cassette), so on the flatter sections I held 17-18 mph.

What fun!
Definitely, get that expanded cassette. I had a 12-27 installed the day before yesterday and then did the biggest climb in the area. Without that 27, I don't think I could have made it
