I'm going to do the Brass Monkey in November, lucky me!
I know it's one of those questions that has a lot of variables, but what sort of average speed should I be looking at to get around as a vet in the 4 hour class?
On the road I do sportives and get into the silver and gold (just) time bands, but for an enduro what do I need to be doing?
Thanks for any help.
better a has been, than a never was! |

average speed will depend upon conditions and course so i wouldnt worry about any statistical data, just ride the pace you are comfortably fast at without burning yourself out, i.e you dont want to be breathing heavily because you will be burning your carbohydrates away
Dont look at it-ride it! they are tools not f*cking ornaments

Really not sure, but I think about 15-20kph is about right for an endurance event? Faster=you're a pro; Slower=you're not really trying now are you! Agree though that its better to focus on effort / heart rate, and speed in the conditions will take care of itself.
