I used to ride a lot so cycling isn't new for me but it has been about 5 years since I did a distance like that I think. My average speed has mostly been around 10.5-11 on other rides since I have been riding this hybrid but I was riding with some seasoned, faster riders who were all on road bikes so that helped get my average up.

Of course the big downhills where I was going 30+ mph influenced that average too because let me tell you I was barely making it above 5mph a couple times going up hill LOL

You are doing great. If I recall you have a trek fx right? One of the guys I wS riding with yesterday was telling me he started with a trek fx about 3 years ago and ended up putting something like 4000 miles on it before moving to his carbon road bike. He did 31 miles with me yesterday, 63 miles on Saturday and 25 miles on Friday. He was a great motivator!
