Just thought I'd share my progress as I was quite pleased with the ride home from work last night. I don't check it every ride as I used to do this and it seemed as though I was at a standing point, on the same route home from work my average would be around 15-15.3mph.

Well I put Strava on last night and did the same route with an average of 16.3mph :D I know it's not that quick still but it's an improvement!

One thing that is odd though is when I looked at my older rides on the same route my average would be around 15mph and my max speed between 28-30mph, last night average 16.3mph max speed 23.4mph :!:

A case of the hare and tortoise maybe? :lol:

    Hare and Tortoise - definitely ...

    I've made a few segments out of my commute - but I needed to get in PDQ the other day, so I didn't "go for" any of the segments, just aimed to keep an overall higher speed ... which I did nicely .. :)
