Thanks for the reminder. I completely forgot I could convert inches into speed by rpms. Very helpful. No 10% hills, hell probably no 3% hills.
Here's the route. It's hardpack Alabama red dirt road, it's "gravel" but only in name. Usually just dirt with some rocks. Very flat, this type of terrain I can ride 18-19mph in a tight paceline, maybe 16-17 solo so I'll plan for that.

I've done a fixed gear paved century that averaged around 50 feet a mile and had a blast. I think I'll get a kick out of a gravel SS century too.
I'm more of a "parti-racer" nowadays anyway.
