I've been riding (seriously) for close to a year now and thought I have been riding at a pretty good pace. I can average a good 18-19mph on the flats and still have something left if needed. I went on a group ride the other night and got hooked up with the group called Med-Fast. Well, I got blown away. I ride a Felt S-91. In looking at the other riders they didn't seem to be in any better shape than me. I'm thinking some of it was they drafted well, but the rest could of been the bike.
Can a bike make up 2-3 mph that I was lacking on this ride? How much more would I need to spend if that is the case? I've been looking at the Felt Tri bikes, but they are about 3 times more in cost than I paid for this one.
Please feed my ego and tell me it is my bike and not me.
Thanks..
