Just what I was after . Thankyou20 mph is probably a reasonable aim. But there's no benchmark as such, there are riders who regularly ride my local evening 10 who average below this.
I understand the course can change times . What I was after was , if i'm doing 19mph and everyone is doing 35 mph then I'm out . It seems I am getting close to ok ish so its worth the extra effort to get better and give it a go .Does depend on the course tho', if your local course was some sort of sporting hilly monstrosity then 20 mph might not be a reasonable aim. I was thinking of flattish out and back type courses. Often local clubs post times on their websites (although a lot of it is done through Facebook now) so you can check the sorts of times riders are doing on particular courses.
41 and a bloody veteran !Don'y know how old you are, but there are time standards for veterans over the age of 40; mine is 27.04 at the age of 54 ( a tad over 22mph for ten miles). I can get below this quite comfortably, so I think the time's are quite achievable if you're fit and willing to put in a little training.
Can't provide a link on my iPod, but if you type in Veterans Time Trial Association you'll get the info.
I guess I have a bit of winter training to do then . 19MPH seems to be where I am stuck but that's over just under 7 miles . I bet the last three miles are the worst
19 is going for it but never really in any of that pain thing you lot seem to do .
