Routes/Commutes
Even though I live a whole 1.6 miles from work I like to call it a commute…sounds more impressive than the truth!
There are 2 routes I use to get to work, and 4 going home. Below are the route distances and my speed records on them.
To Work:
- 1.6 miles -
3:53 @ 24.7mph (max about 40mph)
3:52 @ 24.8mph (max 36mph) set 10/25/07 - 1.8 miles - 4:45 @ 22.7mph (max 52mph - steep hill)
From Work:
- 1.6 miles - 6:53 @ 13.9mph (max 23mph)
- 1.8 miles - 8:10 @ 13.2mph (max 23mph)
- 7.5 miles - 27:30 @ 16.4mph (max 42mph)
- 9.6 miles -
34:53 @ 16.5mph (max 42mph) - set 10/9/07
34:07 @ 16.9mph (max 42mph) set 10/22/0733:55 @ 16.98mph (max 42mph) set 10/31/07
This is where my ”More Speed” title comes from. The quest to go faster on the routes I ride. If I’m not pushing myself I feel I’m letting myself down.
