Daydreaming here...

yep, tour de femme etc as Corsairmac said.

Track time trial: 500m in 33.952 seconds won the gold medal for Meares last year at the Olympic games.

Road time trial: 24km in 0:31:11:53 was the wining time in the 2004 Olympics.

so average speed for road would be say 47-48km/hr, and track would be arond 54-55km/hr.

As for getting there, what han-grrl and RoadRaven said, and even then, there are no guarantees.

Are you on track to become a pro do you think?

Hey Tess, do you know about amatuer racing? What's the speed like there?

Watching Phil and Paul - they just said average speeds of 56km - this is for a regular stage, not the TTT.

I think I'm on track if I was riding on something with 4 wheels. Egads, time to get serious about getting faster. Thanks for the insights. Will definitely check out some local races to be seriously humbled
