As long as I breathe, I attack.
Start - stop riding, junctions and traffic will definitely have an effect on averages
I loose at least 0.1 off my AVG every time I have to slow or stop then try to claw it back.
A clear run at the weekend sees my AVG go up by at least 1.5 mph.
Unfortunately to go faster you need to consistently ride harder,I have a 25 mile loop that is my training circuit I try to ride at time trial effort as much as possible so I'm on the limit but sustainable all the way but knackered at the end.i also do club rides where we take turns on the front to keep a good pace that really helps too.
Without a power meter it's difficult for a beginner to judge effort so how about getting a hr monitor to help gauge your efforts as most people think they are working hard when im fact there is more in the tank
