OOI, what sort of average speed do you manage on these things?

The minimum is 15kph for almost any event of 200km and over, and 12.5 kph for most shorter events. By my reckoning, my average speed during this event was around 16kph (15.8 if I believe the brevet card's 211km, 16.2 if I believe the routesheet's 216km). Of course this includes stops, mechanicals, etc.

I think when we weren't fighting a headwind we were making about 25kph cruising speed on the flat. Alex's speed dropped very severely up steep hills because he was on overgeared fixed.
