Where is Texas flat as can be? Just kidding. Down in Austin I am happy when the course is rolling hills instead of steep ones! My average speed on any given route here is 16-18 mph. We rode the MS150 from Houston (FLAT) and we averaged 25 mph to lunch like it was no big deal. That was without a tailwind, just flat. It is all relative.
