Anywhere between 0 mph track standing at lights to 65 mph going down a good hill.

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? |

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. |

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. |
