In two months I had gone from the 9.32mph to 13.62mph in two months, generally with 20-30ft per mile of climb (over the whole distance) with distances of between 20 and 35 miles, though some rides were longer and shorter, but i was out most days, my first month cycling I did 516 miles @ 12.09mph 2nd month 567miles @ 14.09mph, the 2nd month was a little flatter. These days whilst not much faster, I can climb more.I think it's pretty flat; it's the Great Manchester Cycle. They say they want an average speed of 13mph (recommended!). You have a great improvement on your cycles!
It really is just about riding as much as you can, but remember you need days in which your body needs to recover.
