WELL I THOUGHT I WAS GOING FASTER THAT I WAS. I PASS A GOOD NUMBER OF PEOPLE AND I DIDN'T GET PASSED BY ANYONE. I THOUGHT FOR SURE IN WAS IN THE 20-22 MPH RANGE.

I HOPE MY COMPUTER IS WORKING SO I KNOW HOW FAST I AM GOING. I MIGHT HAVE DONE BETTER BUT I AM STILL HAPPY WITH MY BIKE.

I AM JUST NOT AS FAST AS I SHOULD BE. I PASSED A COUPLE OF PEOPLE BUT I WAS PASSED BY 5 PEOPLE OR SO. I WAS HAPPY THAT MY PACE DID NOT GO OVER 10 MIN MILES!!!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I MET THE GUY THAT BEAT ME FOR 8TH PLACE IN MY AGE GROUP, AND I OUT WEIGHT HIM BY 35 PLUS POUNDS. THAT BEING SAID I NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT.
