Lance Armstrong is a remarkable bike rider. He has/had access to all the latest technology, the best bikes, the best training, personnel trainers, etc. and almost unlimited funds to help train. Training was his full time job. He won the Tour de France 7 times with an average speed of 24.99 mph.

Lenusik if your "normal spead" is 20- 23 mph I think you could be the first woman to ride le tour.
Yeah, but Lance is riding over several mountain stages. I can hold 20-23 on a flat road without much problem. Put me in a mountain and I a) cry like a baby and b) drop in speed significantly.
