So here's for all you jackrabbits that whine about your 'slow' speeds .... our speed on this 30 miler today?- average 8.9mph. (ok I'm usually more like a "blazing" 10mph)
Do I care?- not really, because I got several hours of great healthy exercise and got to enjoy a gorgeous day out in the country doing what I love.
I LOVE those kinds of rides. Erik and I have been riding downtown and along the boardwalk every Sunday for the past few weeks. Avg speed about 18-20kmh. (11 mph)
