Just wanted to know if this is average time. I ride at KSVP at least 2 times a week. I do a loop that is 7.36 miles long and it takes me about 50 minutes. Usually less depending on how muddy it is. Is this an average time? I really haven't been riding as much as I would like too. But, I have been consistent the last month.
 
That gives you an 8.8 mph average 7.36/(50/60) - That is a pretty solid average for an mtb ride. Have you tried doing the loop twice and seeing how the avg changes?
 
Race data...

Here's some data from the first lap of the KVSP race...Cat 1...

Duration: 30:02 (30:14)
Distance: 6.839 mi
Min Max Avg
Heart Rate: 159 178 171 bpm
Speed: 2.8 27.9 13.5 mph

The average dropped to 12.4 for 4 laps...

-Jim.
 
As a reference, you could look at the race results for KVSP and others (maybe Lewis Morris) and make some general comparisons. You're loop is probably similar to whatever they raced on.
 
That seems like a nice average. Is that a non stop ride? How do you feel during the ride? Could you push harder if you wanted to ?

Yea, its a non stop ride. I think I could push harder. The one thing that I think I could do better is the climbs. I usually take it easy up hills and ride in an easy gear. If I ride in a harder gear and power up the hills that will keep my momentum going faster. I was just asking this question cause i ride by myself and just wanted to know how I compare.

I think I will try the loop twice, and see how I make out. This is really about the longest ride I do.
 
What is the loop? It really depends what your loop is. The race course doesn't have the cell tower climb. If you include that it's apples/oranges.
 
No, I don't ride the cell tower climb. I think I ride pretty much the race course. I don't know any of the trails names. There is only so many trails at KVSP so I would imagine its close to the race course.
