My speed is correlated with mince pie consumption. Sadly it's not a positive correlation. Luckily the last batch have got yellow stickers on now so there is light at the end of the tunnel.
like me then, you have to take it a bit slower as you cant see potholes,debris ,hit the corner apex as good etc,I am on country roads. Deep dark country roads. Maybe that's it.
I will put the back light on my Wahoo tomorrow and actually keep an eye on the speed.
Like everyone else. I feel like I'm whizzing along in the dark.
It's not important. It only makes a 5 to 10 minute difference getting to work. But it is a mystery.
Why does the location of ditches (hidden or not) which are 'on each side of the road' matter? Are you riding on the verges?remembering where the hidden ditches on each side of the road are

Get a 1500 lumen light and ride the same speed.
Verges get churned up and it's not always possible to where the road stops and the verge begins. A section of my commute has a very deep ditch with very little verge between it and the road.Why does the location of ditches (hidden or not) which are 'on each side of the road' matter?

And blind all the oncoming cyclists.Get a 1500 lumen light and ride the same speed.
I have discovered that I ride about 4km slower on my commute to work in the dark, than my return in the light.
Even when I ride at night, my speed is lower, even though I try and keep the speed up.
Has anyone noticed this and can someone explain it?
