First ride in heavy rain - does it affect average speed tho?

[scotty110788]

48 , max i can do is 38.5, its annoying me just to break that 40 mark lol

I reckon I could have squeezed a bit more speed out as there's currently traffic lights from some invisible roadworks at the top of the hill so the 48mph was done from a standing start at the top

Wierd, 38.5 is my max. too and at the mo I am blaming my bike computer as everyone else seems to smash this. I need a garmin!

Standing start or moving at top of hill wont make any difference

 

[jeremy barker]

Yes but it would have given me a longer piece of road to keep the power on, i had to bottle it as theres a very sharp 90 degree left at the bottom. I'm only saying that because it makes me want to get past the 50mph barrier lol

I was laid so flat on the bike I'd have fallen off backwards it i went any further back

I always drop my speed in the wet.....too many "offs" mean I am extra careful now....although I tend to forget and always want to push on!!!
