For me….gaining 1mph seems to take a lot of effort. I average 19-20mph on my 10 mile route day in and day out(whether I watch my app or ignore it the whole ride). Doesn’t seem to matter if it’s windy or not….my average stays the same. My body/brain apparently goes on autopilot so I don’t dip below 19mph avg.
Seems like I have to noticeably push to get a 20.5 mph average.

MinnMan You would have loved Hong Kong then. Up all night drinking and partying and then straight to morning dim sum. Not conducive to biking though.

I love evening and night rides because it's cooler and roads are clear. I could never wake up early like some of these roadies. I think it has to do with the person. Some are early birds while others aren't. I fell asleep at 1AM last night and woke up at 12pm today...I naturally sleep 8-11 hours a day. I've been an athlete all my life practicing different disciplines of sports and I was not the type to be at the gym at 6am before work, although it sounds good, I couldn't do it. I exercise after work, and in my 20s when I was bartending, I'd sometimes be in the gym till 2am. But I'm still hoping that one day I'll wake up at 6am and do a 30 mile ride like some of my friends do 
. Thanks for sharing. Good luck guys.
