As a 22mph average cyclist just commuting with very little effort, I admit..

[Ice2911]

The only time ive experience of rapid group speeds was in the Tour of Cambridge, where the first 40 miles I managed to hang onto fast groups to average 24mph, from then on my average dropped away to 21mph for the whole event

I'm riding in this very soon. I want to try and get under 5 hours if possible. 5 hours 12 my best so far. I'm hoping closed roads will help. Are there groups riding at different speeds? If I started off averaging 24 pretty sure I'd blow up before the end.

Whilst reading my newspaper and eating an apple pedalling at 26mph I passed a cyclist who looked like they were cycling in treacle, wonder if it was @inuke ?

There are a group of us from CycleChat doing the Tour of Cambridgeshire this year. Some of us faster/slower than others. The faster guys will be looking to stick together and post a quick time. Why not pop over to this thread (https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/turbo-club-meet-ups-events.224176/page-266), introduce yourself and see if you can meet us on the day?
