keith Posted April 10, 2008 Share Hey guys is there any speed I should be riding at? I've done two rides so far (newbie) and on open stretches I sit at about 32km/h. Is this too slow or ok?

AndreZA Posted April 10, 2008 Share Stop bragging. On my flat 100km ride I only manage 28km/h. the quastion is, how far do you go to manage an average of 32? No use it's just 5ks. You need to do it for 100. Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/15368-average-speed/#findComment-286593 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gummibear Posted April 10, 2008 Share Was the wind from the front or from behind?How far are you riding.A avg 0f 25-32 for the whole ride is pretty good. Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/15368-average-speed/#findComment-286600 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob_the_builder Posted April 10, 2008 Share keith aim high 40 ave is much better At least 40. Your benchmark should be 4hours at 40km/h. Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/15368-average-speed/#findComment-286609 Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith Posted April 10, 2008 Share I don't sit at that speed for long!!! I rode from Snake Park here in Durbs to Umhlanga. But by myself so I don't know how quick I'm going. Obviously like grease lightning I'll have to check my average when I finish.

Obviously like grease lightning I'll have to check my average when I finish. Is the snake park still standing? Last I saw it was a metre or 2 before "Down the bank & into the sea"!
