How fast Are You

Reading Lance Armstrongs book " Lance Armstrongs Performance Book, 7 weeks
to the Perfect Ride.
One section says to test your fitness level, was to mark out a 3 mile
course, which is 4.8km's.
Standing start, with pretty flat track, and no wind.
If you can do it in under 8 minutes your are very good, Advanced rider.
Over 8 but less than 10 is intermediate.
Over 10 minutes is a recreational rider.

Is this a good guide, it took me 9 minutes 10 seconds, and I think I am not
that good.
Is this a good guide ?
Cheers,
Timmy

well, if my math is correct...
Sub 8 minutes is 36kph+
8-10 minutes is 36kp-28.8kph
and obviously 10+ minutes is over under 28.8kph
I woulda thawt someone who is 'advanced would be capable of over 45kp
on flat-no-wind conditions (can someone give me a melways ref of thi
mythical place?

We can get people to the Moon in five years,
not the fifteen GWB proposes.
Give NASA a real challenge
