Got started again with a few sporadic 4 mile jaunts over the past two weeks, then commuted 11 miles throughout one day.

My knee was a ***** the day after... we'll see if sticking it out will help that out.

16 mile ride though Rock Creek Park in DC. First time today, so I'll do a longer next time since I know the terrain a little better.

I target a 16 average pace on a 24 mile loop w some moderate hills. Old guy here, not a great speed but makes for a decent 90 minute workout.

35 commuting miles today.

My average speeds are right around 20mph for 50+ miles, and about 22mph when it's less.

16 miles of college commuting, 5 back and forth to a store. I might go for a quick 18 mile night ride if the storms hold back.
BTW: I normally average 19-21mph on my road bike, but averages depends on wind conditions, terrain, bike setup, etc.

Just a touch over 10 miles yesterday. Coming out a funk, I haven't worked out in three weeks. I'm going to the gym a little bit later and I hope to hit at least 12.

How about the slope of the terrain ridden? North Georgia has a lot of challenging rolling hills...

Rode 5.5 miles today commuting. Lungs are getting better (slower to get winded, but still slow coming back down). There's a moderate yet long hill halfway there that absolutely destroys my legs and leaves me worthless the rest of the trip.
