Maybe ride to work?What do I need to do to improve my average?
I am restricted by work so can only gaet out at weekends, so any suggestions with that in mind gratefully appreciated!
Try setting the Garmin to autostop, might even it out a bit.Until yesterday all my rides have been on my own, and I take the average as the moving average from my Garmin
Maybe ride to work?
P.S. as for upping average speed on shorter rides, perhaps as Rob mentioned TTs may be worth a go, really pushing it with everything you have once a week or whatever. This may have the effect of increasing your threshold; giving you more time where you are able to work at high intensity.
"Tempo rides" have done wonders for me, that was another suggestion off here when I was asking. Don't under estimate how hard they can be.

Pedal faster and/or harder. On your 10 mile riders, are you spent and exhausted after the ride? If no, then you could have ridden faster.
Watch the numbers, if your displayed speed is 17mph, then push it to 18mph. Sprint off the lights, get back up to target speed quickly. Brake late into lights and corners, reduce the time you're slowing down.
Brilliant, Chescadence has proven to me I'm as fast as Wiggo, its just I have to slow down for traffic more often.
I may still be slow but can now mathematically claim to be a God on a bike
- obviously!!!
Makes sense - so what I need is a flat route with no traffic....in London/essex.....
