Subject: RE: good mtn bike avg speed- Greenbelt Corridor in Denton? Thanks for the reply! Being that Raegan and I are not really mtn bikers, I have no frame of reference to know what pace is considered slow, avg, fast, in-between, etc..
I felt that we were both putting in a pretty good effort and averaged 14.4 for the 12 miles. After hearing our neighbor say 16-18mph is good, I was thinking that we can't really be THAT slow compared to the avg, but after your reply, I guess maybe we are! I'll chalk that up to having a cheap Wal-mart mtn. bike w/ platform pedals, and not my bike fitness!
The gravel is pretty large and plentiful on that trail, so I don't know how you rode it with road tires without getting a flat.. that's good! Raegan saw a cyclocross rider too when we were out there that was moving at a pretty good pace. It is a nice change to ride out there than from riding on the roads.
