Wander00 Danny - in the late 50s/early 60s there was a road with timed lights in Slough -ISTR they were set for 30mph so we did it on bikes (young fit teenager then) at 15mph, though a friend claimed to have done it at 30mph
A few weeks ago I rode my bike 53 miles along the foot of the Berkshire Ridgeway (White Horse area), skirted the E side of Shrivenham and back through Stanford in the Vale and Steventon (edge of RAF Abingdon, to give an aviation link).
I averaged 15.6 mph. I'm 54
