Fastest ride yet - Cycling Mob: Road Cycling, Mountain Biking and More

With a little help from a southwest breeze, I set a personal best for
average speed on one of my regular routes. The wind direction was such
that most of the time when I was going into it, I was going downhill,
and on the return leg I was going up the hills with the wind. That
combination helped me average 17.1 for 14.7 miles. I've done better in
races, but I've never averaged quite that fast on a routine ride.

As I've said before, tailwinds are a beautiful thing!
