keith Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 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? Shot
AndreZA Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 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.Â
gummibear Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 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.
bob_the_builder Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008  keith aim high 40 ave is much better  At least 40. Your benchmark should be 4hours at 40km/h.Â
keith Posted April 10, 2008 Author Posted April 10, 2008 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"!
1hill@aTime Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 keith aim high 40 ave is much better At least 40. Your benchmark should be 4hours at 40km/h. Â that's only possible twice a week, when the winds in blowing from my rear
keith Posted April 10, 2008 Author Posted April 10, 2008 Yeah Delqado its still standing proudly! Been there for yonkes!

keith Posted April 10, 2008 Author Posted April 10, 2008 So averaging 25-30 is something for me to aim for? Depending on wind
keith Posted April 10, 2008 Author Posted April 10, 2008 RS when I become good I'll be as quick as Ali
