Hello everyone - fairly new to biking! Been doing 10-12 mile rides and really been loving it. Want to train for a 60 mile ride in the fall!

That being said… What is a decent mile pace? I’ve been doing about 11mph on my rides, nothing crazy. And I’m not trying to set any world records or anything. But what is a normal pace for a race that I would try to sign up for?

If it’s just an organized 60 miler, 11-13mph should be perfectly respectable. If it’s a race, might want to aim a bit higher, but sounds like you’re on track.

Going to depend on a number of things first how hilly or flat the ride is.

Pros average 28-30 mph with mountains (but also a peleton which helps)

Sub elite probably 10% slower than that.

Avid cyclist probably another 10-15% that.

Average joe just starting out I’d aim 15-18 mph

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!

Feeling really overwhelmed and wondering if anyone else has struggled with something similar: I’ve been with the same company for about three years and I feel like it’s time for a change of pace. Poked around on LinkedIn and there wasn’t a single listing I was interested in that I felt genuinely qualified for. Did I somehow fall behind or does everyone just have unrealistic expectations?

How do you try new bikes? A car you can jump in, move the seat and drive around. A bike needs a fit(something for another post), time and it’s impossible to ride all brands to see what “feels” best. Love my local bike shop, but they only sell Trek and are obviously biased.

I mostly only get to ride on weekends. If I'm lucky, during the week I'll get in some peloton. How do you get in leisure rides with work during the week?
