Hi Again,
I have asked something like this before, but now I hope I'm a little more specific. How fast should I be riding? I am consistently riding 20 miles 4 times a week now. I have also been shaving time off every time, but how fast should I be able to ride? My plan is to be able to ride 20 miles in a decent amount of time before I start going riding further. I do get 30 to 40 miles once every 2 weeks (work and life gets in the way sometimes, darnit). Does that sound like a good training plan? Of course I slow down on the hills, but the hills (even the steep ones) are part of the 20 miles. I'm working on getting faster going up those too. But what kind of time should I be shooting for? I ride a mountain bike 26 inch wheels. The new tires are a bit slicker than my old ones and I do find that I can ride a bit faster (or maybe it just feels smoother). Thanks
