What's your average speed??

[Tiny K]

100-120km at 28 - 29km/h Brakenfell to somewhere up Franschoek Pass and back. But that is now while we are trying to get fit. Can't ride with the training groups just yet as I am too slow and fat.

 

Those stats are not bad...... except for not summiting Franschoek pass

 

Join the Andrag group or follow the Durbanville Area Roadies (thread) and join some rides. The fat will disappear fast (I lost 15Kg's in 2 years and I still want to lose more) with the correct diet (controlled intake) and regular training.

 

Back to OP though, I average around 30 to 32 depending on how I feel. Carrots (guys ahead of me in the distance) are my weakness I set my sights on catching them and go for it

I average 29 km/h on flat roads at high altitude over 95km on my own. I also once averaged 28.6 over 44km which included two passes, although in the process of doing this I ended up with tendonitis.

I'm chuffed when I can do a 4hr tempo ride with just over 1000m of climbing at anything over 32km/h - on my own, and usually with a nasty South Easter for half the ride...

 

That's pretty hard riding there...

My seeding for the summer season was D.

 

With a 3.5 hr ride with roughly 800 - 900 metres ascent. during December - the hiatus of racing season, 29-31 km/h avg is a good training result.
