[RC] Speed at multiday rides - Michael Maul

In response to "The way things work now, and why they work now, is because most riders don't try racing on multidays."

Actually there's a good statistical analysis of riding speed at multidays by Truman based on AERC ride results at

Multidays are analyzed at

Here's one conclusion that Truman draws from this analysis. Others are free to look at the graphs and come to their own conclusions.

"The surprise is, like in the previous study, the Pioneer riders are going faster than the single day rides. Although the riders in the Pioneer events rode between three and 5 days in a row to complete the Pioneer event, they were as a group riding faster than riders at the single day rides in the same regions on similar terrain in a similar climate."

Another interesting study on the speed of AERC rides is at
