Thanks Jobob.
I always have such a hard time finding what I am looking for in past threads.

ha, i know exactly which thread THAT is.
very entertaining, I'm sure.
If people go in pacelines, the speeds are apt to be a lot faster.
Oh, no prob nicole, I just happen to remember that thread all too well.
All I needed to do was search a certain person's name.

My average pace changes with each ride depending on terrain, distance and elevation. I think I might have posted on that thread you mentioned, but I'll repeat just in case. Today I did what I called my "speed" ride. A semi-short distance that I pushed myself on for speed. It was 12 miles at 15.5 average pace. My last "long" ride was 25 miles at 14.9 average. On the tandem the other day, up some good elevation, I was REALLY pushing more than I have before on the tandem and we did 16.8 average. I go faster on the tandem than my single, while DH goes slower!
I might be a little faster than you, but I'm the slowest person I actually know who cycles, so it spurs me on to get faster and keep up!
My average speed so far this year (road bike only, not including commutes): 23.66 km/h.
Last year (2006): 24.01
The year before (2005): 23.55
I am not interested in my speed in milesbut you can get the conversion here: http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=...e+Search&meta=
That includes club rides, leisurely rides, rides with strong and less strong friends, stopping and starting, very flat and verrrrrrry steep.
And it's really not very important.
