Stuck some slicks on my CX bike and went out for a pootle around the local counry lanes today. Thought my cruising speed was reasonable, but just got back and worked it out, 32 miles with an average (total) speed of 13mph.

I'm happy that I cracked the 50km barrier and my top speed of 34mph was fun, but a bit disappointed with my avg. pace, it was a bit hilly but still was expecting something around 16-17mph???

Any pointers on upping my average speed other than ride more?
