How fast do you guys ride? (MPH)

Just curious...how fast do you guys normally ride (MPH). Thanks!

Jonathan

19 mph ... more or less

Did a Crit today. Pro 1/2/3. 60 laps and avg. speed was 25.8mph. And it wasn't flat either.

did a 170 km training ride on the weekend, with an average speed of 35.2..supose thats pretty good

do you mean that 35.2 in km? or mph? If so, thats tough to believe.


And 25 mph is pretty insane to the other poster above. I wish I could have an average speed of around there. Suppose I got a lot of training to doooo

While in a pack, the avg speed is usually greater. Do you ride alone or with a group of friends?

KM's......and i do both, ride by myself and group/team

For moderate pace trail riding: 17-18 MPH on my road bike and 15-16 on my mountain bike.

Depends on terrain, wind, bike, group/solo ride, duration of ride etc.

I averaged almost 16 (15.7) on the 50 miles I did yesterday. It was mostly rolling hills and it drizzled almost the whole 3 hours.
I did 21 miles on Friday and averaged around 16 also.
I have a flat 15 mile recovery ride that I do, wherein I average about 17 or 18.

20 mile training ride saturday morning, 16.3 mph solo.
10 mile tt 18.3.
2 mile all out 22 mph
all out sprint, no lead out 26mph.

My goal for this time next year is to be 3-5 mph faster in all categories.

I think Alex summed it up best, but here's some more data:

• Fun social rides with my wife: 16-18 mph average speed
• Typical training rides: 19-21 mph average door to door 22-25 mph during 20 minute threshold efforts
• Century rides: 18-20 mph average speed (these are for fun and training)
• Road races: 20-24 mph average depending on course and group tactics
• Crits: 24-28 mph average speed
• Flat Time Trials: 24-28 mph depending on length, wind and road surface
• Best long ride ever 21.2 mph average speed for 206 miles and 7500 feet of climbing this past weekend in a sanctioned race from Logan Utah to Jackson Wyoming.

Yeah, I'm blowin' my own horn a bit, but FWIW those aren't really fast times and I'm not winning most of my races. The fast guys are a lot faster and I was half an hour slower than the guy that won my race on Saturday.

Cat 4/5 crit earlier this summer we averaged 26mph on a flat rectangular course with one scary turn. I maxed out at 37.7 mph on final sprint. On my own, I am lucky to get past 30mph on a sprint. Drafting and adrenaline make all the difference in the world.

50 mile road race a couple of weeks ago, we averaged under 22mph. Like they say, the average doesn't matter, the accelerations are what get you. I was positioned poorly in the back of the pack and was dropped a couple of times before sticking with the lead group - I thought my legs were going to fall off trying to catch back up.
