Im entering a cycle 34km race, how long will it take?

Question

hello, im entering a 34km cycling race, just for fun, for charity, nothing serious. i have not done anything like this before, but i do cycle alot and am fairly fit, so it should not be a problem, i was just wondering how long will it take me roughly to complete the race? what kind of time can i expect?

thank you,

oliver

Answer 1

what kind of bike do you have?  

If you have a road bike then maybe 1:15-1:20

If you have a heavy mtn bike, then probably over 1:30

Of course i have no idea how good you are but to give you an idea, the top road cyclists in the world average close to 50km/hr on a time trial so roughly 40 min.

A pretty good recreational cyclist would average over 30 km/hr so about 1 hour.
