It's becoming a bit of a joke now that I am Lantern Rouge on every Audax I do, completing a couple of 200s in over the 13 hour mark, and 300's in 17hr and 19hr's. The only time I've not come in last was the time I was fortunate enough to ride with someone else, tho they were on a recumbent, so I wasn't able to draft, but we did ride side by side the whole time (apart from the bit with the headwind, where she waited for me in the icecream shop).
Looking at my Strava data for my 200's, I typically average about 19.8kph when moving. Meaning 200 is just over 10 hours, plus the half hour for the over distance most rides seem to be, gives me about 2.5 hours of faff. Whilst I could work on the faff time, bouncing controls, etc... It did get me curious. How fast are the rest of you? For a 200 or 300, what's your average moving speed? What's your faff to forward ratio like?
I know I need to get faster, I'm just curious how much faster everyone else is?
