improving speed
I would love to be able to average 17 mph anytime over more than just a short sprint.

Same here. I have pedaled as high as 19.8 mph - but that was during intervals and not sustainable for me - as yet. Originally Posted by marni

I find it's just like running. The more hill rides and long distance rides I do, the better my average speed on the shorter rides is. Just keep riding. I've been trying to catch my husband for year's. Unfortunately, he is increasing in fitness as fast as me!
