Speed averages between trail riding and road riding
I've been riding for a couple years now. I started out on trails/tracks and
finally got bored enough with those that I began venturing out on the road. Since that time, I've noticed my averages went up considerably. I think back, and the only thing I can wonder is whether it has to do with having cars all around me to keep me pushing harder and harder to avoid being hit. When I start at lights, I end up drag racing the cars next to me...and at times win (at least until we get to the other side of the intersection)! While riding, I notice that I'm trying to keep up with the traffic around me. I've even noticed when I'm out riding late at night when the traffic isn't out, I tend to ease off the hard riding. All of this has pushed me into a new level of riding experience and overall into a higher bracket of times and speed averages. Has anyone else ever noticed the differences like this when going from trails and into traffic road riding? Does anyone have opinions to whether it's better to get into heavy traffic or just isolated traffic? |
