how slow am I?

[caligurl]

I am not putting anybody down by sharing that I tend to ride a bit faster and that there are other riders who ride way faster than I do.

no.... true... when you ONLY say how fast you are... you aren't putting anyone down... it's when you make the comments:

Sorry girls, but 13-15 mph sounds really slow to me. I was riding faster on the first days of my ride.

or when you say the top 25 on a list of over 150 people is some sort of average? (the MAJORITY of people on that list didn't ride the speeds of the top 25... and MORE rode more like 8 to 10 mph! the TOP of ANY list is NOT the AVERAGE!

Please check the average speed of the first 24 riders. This is a pretty standandard goal that an average rider may want to consider.

All I give is averages for anyone in any situation.

That's what I was talking about - the average ANYWHERE for an average cyclist is 18-20 mph.

Lenusik,
Perhaps you're actually caculating your average speed in km/h as opposed to mph.
