Speed

On a day to day rides like I am doing riding fast has totally different meaning. Usual cyclists that only do few days per week riding talk about speed as miles per hour. And more miles per hour the better. On day after day ride you need to ride slower. So slow that you can ride the day after. And you pick your distance per day as the distance you can ride many days in a row. If you go too fast per day you need more resting days and you go slower. And if you ride too far one day you need more rest days And goes slower. My speed is 60 to 80 miles per day . usual touring rider rides 50. To 60 miles per day. Some people have trained themselves to do 100 or more miles per day but that is not usual.
