Back at ya!
Fifty minutes on the trainer. Total climb = 0 ft.
Assuming I have it all calibrated correctly (which is a very big if), my Garmin says I rode for 11.6 virtual miles at a virtual average speed of 14.1 vmph.
And it was soooo boring.

I guess I'll chime in here too...my average today was 12.4 on a 37 mile ride.
Gorgeous clear blue skies here today! We are having really cool weather, which is very unusual but perfect for riding. It was a bit breezy, but I didn't mind. Everything is still really green and springy looking around here, so I really enjoyed the scenery.

I sometimes go 2.5 to 3 mph uphill...which is just on the verge of falling over. Originally Posted by laura jane

No, I was talking 9.53 overall average, including all rides- like for the year, not just for uphills.

81 kms. --objective was to get out to a new road bridge opening celebration. There is a cycling to all this. Will post elsewhere.
I continue to be impressed by dearie who managed to hook up 4-5 different bike routes (again a blend of road with bike lane most of the time or off-road).
It was a pretty good ride, considering that there was a headwind 60% of time but I hung in there. Must be all that early morning rides daily that's helping me abit.

Road my triathlon route plus about 5 extra miles today. It's a hilly one for sure! I'd forgotten that.
Ended up 26.5 miles, 16.5 mph average and 1250 feet of climbing. good challenging ride ... .I would have gone faster, but had to wait for the... BOYS! I'm not kidding! Beat them on all the hills. Makes me feel good. Until I ride with my female riding partner and she kicks my butt on the hills!
