Subject: RE: Will my bike times be faster in a raceYou will probably be faster in a race. For one thing, it's rare that you're able to go out for a training ride without ever having to slow or stop for traffic, other riders/pedestrians, etc., and all of those things will affect your overall avg. speed for a ride. Of course, your pace during a race will vary depending on factors such as weather conditions, wind, and flat vs. hilly course. |
