Hey folks. When I started riding a few months ago, I bought a hybrid, as I hadn't ridden in years and figured it would be the best thing for our extensive rail trails here. Well - it is very nice for the rail trails and for riding with the kids, but it took me about 10 miles to start wishing I had a road bike. Anyway...
I have been averaging about 14 miles an hour over 20 miles on the trails but will be getting my NEW ROAD BIKE this Friday. If I'm doing 14-15 miles per hour over gravel and through mud etc. what would you expect I can do on the road?
And - since the trails are pretty darn flat, I'll be slower over the hills until I get some power going, I assume. However, on the other hand, I'll be in clipless pedals...
I guess I'll find out soon enough. I'm so excited!!
