Getting out on a real bike blows away a stationary bike. You will probably
increase your distance quite easily.
As for your actual speed on the road versus stationary that would depend upon
the resistance mechanisms of the stationary.
I would assume that you haven't been on a real bike in quite some time, so don't
push it, especially going down hills until your skills are up to it.
