The Big Question - Your Average Speed
With preference over conventional start-stop road conditions in most cosmopolitan cities, the joy of riding uninhibited over PCN (Park Connector Network) across the island is where I can easily achieve an average 20mph pace.
Some say that would be a tad too sloppy for TT riders but the whole idea when you begin riding an aero bike is to enjoy a consistent ride that does not wear you down. Nevertheless, it must be, at times, at a pace that hurt your muscle, and causes you to improve over the weeks.
Coupled with recovery days, you will gradually climb beyond 20mph to the 30mph with faithful daily training on the road.
As a rough speed guide - the tourists/beginners (10-14 mph), the slow folks (14-16 mph), the mid-range cyclists (17-18 mph), the fairly quick crowd (19-20 mph), the studs (20-22 mph), the horses (22-24 mph) and the semi-pros (24-26+ mph).
