21.5 mph, that's pretty quick. I can only dream of pulling that off in my lifetime.
Two days ago was my first year cycling anniversary. Logged around 2,900+ miles. Hopefully this year I can match or beat that mileage. What really surprised my is one of the things I love about cycling is the suffering. Don't get me wrong, certain days I bitch and whine about everything that's giving me a hard time but there are many times where I'm trying to ride hard and I'm at my limit: my heart's pumping like it's gonna jump out of your chest, my legs are screaming and I'm sweating like I'm in the immigration line and you know what, I like that shit most times
