Whats your average speed over a ten mile time trial ?

How to ride a fact 10. Warm up for at least 30 minutes until sweating freely and breathing hard. Do stretches. Arrive at start with less than 2 minutes to go. Start flat out and feel pain. Continue until pain becomes almost unbearable. Go harder. Continue to the finish. Steady up, roll alomg easily, don't stop and fling yourself on the ground. Warm down easily. After 15 minutes of steady warm down, when no longer feeling sick, have a look at the result board to check time. It will be good for the course and conditions.
Warning - this is an approach that cannot be repeated constantly. Mix the TTs with some short circuit races which help you go even deeper and thus faster when you do ride a TT properly. Enjoy? Not a lot. Enjoy the result, not the ride.

Tt courses make average speed hard to work to depends on where you live..... Peddle to your threshold limits

On a TT do you need to know both the average mph along with the feet climbing to get an idea where you think you would come?
For example over 10mile commute with 300feet of climbing I can average 22mph and on a route with 750 feet it's more like 19-20mph?

Well it was a pretty low end one but it fits me unlike the Giants I have looked at . They put it on a turbo for me to have a go and see my position and , yeah I liked it .
Its a good price for me to give the position a try and as I have a pretty good collection of parts I can add upgrades without it costing me more .
