Yesterday's ride home was also 13.something (I left the thing in my kitchen)
The uberhill slows it down so much [:(] Average about 5.5mph up that biznatch!

Skinny and slick, yes [:D] Light... Surprisingly not really!
It's because of the sheer bloody size of the hill, I assure you [:D]

I have no idea what the count on my rings is. I just ride it FFS!
Hence the location.

AVG: 13.5 MPH
Dist: 7.5 miles (I must have wiggled less)
Time: 0:33:26
Max speed.: 39.5mph (no bloody shades this morning, I thought I had lost them!)
[editz0r]Rich - I only know because it said on it as I was taking it off! [:)]
And I would have been faster this morning, but (weirdly) the places I can usually get some speed up there were traffic queues. Damn them. It's a conspiracy to make me go slower!

Is for me. But, until you see the state of the roads I'd withhold comment! I want to try and take some pics, but I can't be bothered [:(]
A good example is the last road down on my normal way home. If it was a good surface, I'd be in the 52/12 or whatever the smallest is and speeding along. As it is, I stick in the 42/16 and don't go faster because it's <i>painful</i>

I'd say on the road parts of my commute I'm bobbing along at about 15 or so, its the offroad and uphills that bring the average down.

Aye, I can imagine! It's the traffic queues and bad surfaces that slow my time down (Oh, and the bloody big hills and unfitness, but meh to that!)

Still, I don't know about you, but the land that course in on looks pretty easy compared to my commute.

If its flat it'll be a more even pace where we can stay on target to hit 11mph average.
And you wont be muttering the word 'easy' at 3am.
