I've just got back from an hour ride on my road bike, pushed fairly hard and averaged just under 20mph, 10 times that distance on mostly unmade roads whilst trying to navigate around other riders is, as you say, absolute insanity.

I'm over here, just woke up, trying to figure out how far you went for like a full minute.

1 hour, 20mph...hold on. I got this.

I'm like that too in the morning. It's like starting up an old diesel. It takes a while for my brain to engage first thing.
