Can you really average 20MPH?

[monnet]

I average around 17mph on my 8mile commute. About 18-20mph when I'm out with the club, 17-20mph on my own and 23-25mph when I'm out with the chainy. It all depends on the weather, if I'm riding in a group and who's in the group- and of course the terrain.

I can also say, hand on heart I've done plenty of rides at 'evens', both solo and group riding (and the solos weren't just TT's)

I have done it on a hybrid with a pannier, it is that hard (if you have a decent hill on the way home)...
