I've often said my mileage is good because of how and where I ride. I ride fairly easy but steadily .... Between 45-60 and mostly 50-55 on back country curvy 2 lane roads with no stop lights and few stop signs and very little shifting actually. With the 14 DLX I seem to be turning around 2500 rpms most of the time. These roads start the moment I leave my drive way and many times I will ride 75 miles and not see anyone in front of me, nor anyone behind me.if I ride to town to the post office it's maybe 3 miles and 2 stop lights. The grocery is the most congested place I ride to probably, right thru the middle of the next town.. 6 miles and 4 traffic lights. Busy place lol. Other than that I head out to the country to ride.
Oh well, right now I am 27 miles shy of riding 17,000 miles so far this year ( on 3 different bikes) so think I'll throw on some gear and go for a ride before it rains.
