I went on a leisure ride yesterday on my road bike with my brother. I rode the road bike and he rode my mountain bike. We took it fairly easy on the way up to Will Rogers (19 miles) and made it in about 1:20. I felt like we averaged around 14mph.
On the way back we kicked it up a notch and spent a lot of the ride hauling ass between 18-21mph. I feel like we probably averaged around 17mph. We made it back in around 1:10 with a few short breaks for random saddle adjustments, etc.
It actually felt a little odd just riding for recreation instead of commuting. When I'm commuting, I have a purpose...I'm going to work. I rode a little beyond where I normally go for work and just came right back home. I guess it's a little bit like going for a drive for the sake of just going for a drive. I don't remember ever driving 20 miles simply to turn around and drive back home.
But anyway...it was fun.
