The regular racing scene in Norway is not that well developed, so
lots of quite fit people participate in these events. People who in
other countries might do more regular racing. So in Norway the level
of the fastest times is quite high. For example this year the Mjøsa
Rundt 235km (146mi) race winners had an average speed of 44km/h
(27.3mph) despite heavy headwinds for last 100km.

That is an extremely impressive time for that distance, very nearly a
UCI pro level of performance.
