Crusing speed

[Glover Fan]

For all we know the OP may have only cycled one mile.

It depends on way too many variables to discuss.

Last weekend I did a 69 mile audax at an average speed of 12.48 mph. I wouldn't say though this was cruising, I hadn't done this sort of distance for a long time so was conserving a lot of energy in the tank so that I could make it round.

Today I did 39.1 miles at an average of 16.1 mph, which probably was near comfortable cruising as I managed it for 2 hrs 20 mins. But I felt worse afterwards than I did after the Audax, my legs are still burning, but then I didn't get the opportunity today to have a pint of Tribute Ale, which of course is a well known muscle healant.

What are these "smooth roads" and "flat roads" that you speak of? I'm not sure I've ever met either of them

Must be a new fangled continental invention!
