Benefits of faster riding
For the last 20 years or so I have mostly ridden alone, as it is difficult to coordinate schedules with others. I manage to do plenty of riding and tackle some very challenging rides, think 125 miles, 16,000+’. During these years in the wilderness I also know the 18 mph pace that I rode with a local group before my solo days was becoming a memory. While very fit I am not fast anymore and it does not bother me except I think it would be a step up to start group rides again and aim for 18 mph to see what it does for me. Any similar experiences?
