Am I too fast?

[MrGrumpy]

Group riding is different maybe you need to just find a faster group.

 

[MrGrumpy]

This is an a-typical chainy ride for me:

• 66.9km

• 2:13:55
  Moving Time

Speed AVE - 30.0km/h Max 56.5km/h
Heart Rate 138bpm Max 179bpm
Cadence 90 Max 154
Power 201W Max 1,008W
Calories 1,805
Temperature 14℃
Elapsed Time 2:25:10

Whereas; i'll usually between these rides do say about 12-25mls recovery days...mostly rolling around..

• 18.7km
  Distance
  
• 46:13

30kph is around 18mph. If that's a chaingang (chainy?) ride, then it's poor.

That's not to fast, but a great average speed. Mine is about 12-15 mph, but I did London to Brighton back in the 80's averaging about 20-22 mph. I wish I had those legs now lol.

Who's willy waving now lol that could be a cruising along group ride not a balls out ride as hard as you can. It's a pretty respectable average.

If it is a chaingang (do you know what a chaingang is?) - then it is slow.

 

[MrGrumpy]

Yes I know what a chaingang is cheers.

 

[lee1980sim]

Do we really believe there was 'a friend' who said the OP was riding 'too fast'? Come along children, be honest. Do any of us give a flying fark?

OK it wasn't a friend it was a work colleague who also cycles, I have no friends

Then you know it's a fast group training ride with a rotating paceline. So I'm puzzled that you answered in the way you did earlier.

 

[Tim Hall]

Don't forget, its an average so for half your ride you were going slower than that. If you can work out which half is holding you back and don't do that bit next time, then you'll get a much better number. Then repeat the exercise to get rid of the slow half on your next average, and so on. Works every time for me.

I think that's how Xeno's Paradox VC train.

 

[cyberknight]

No
commute average with panniers for 10 miles 18 -19 mph or down to 15 mph if the weathers cack and im tired .
solo ride 25 -40 miles = around 20 mph
midland monster sportive on my virtuoso with a failing bottom bracket = 17 mph
medium club run 17-18 mph average
fast club run 20-21 mph average
