@biggs682 I'll show you hills round here that would make your knees bleed!
Might take you up on your offer one of these days just for a change of scenery

While I'm on the edge of Cambs, bordering Northants, any ride into the fens is a good workout. No cover, no hills...maybe an incline...and usually a relentless wind means a flat workout is exactly that...a workout, you never stop pedalling.Mmmmph, well I'm certainly lowering the average, working out at 10.5 mph, there or thereabouts LOL. Mind, a short plump lady on a 650c-shod bike isn't going to be the fastest combo anyways.
Out here north of Cambridge the roads are pretty flat for the most part. It's t'other side of Cambridge that's got all the hilly bits. On the other hand, when the wind blows out here there's nothing to stop it, and you can be pedalling for all you're worth and still end up going backwards...
I'm guessing you don't use Strava, but if you do you will see Strava removes all the stops when you upload, so we are seeing the moving average of Cambridgeshire cyclists, flapjack breaks omitted.My averages are about 8mph but that's because I'm fat and forget to turn my app off when I go and buy flapjacks. Much kudos to my Cambridgeshire comrades.
