20mph is well hard, solo. i tried to get that fast last year, and managed 19 for an hour and a half on my fixed. you can screw around with routes and gradients to help you out, but that's kind of cheating.
it's cool to have some kind of aim, but i couldn't come up with a good enough one to keep training at the expense of polo, which i enjoy so much more than just riding. when i'm older and richer i'll enrol for the etape and then train my ass off for a year to see what i am capable of.
until then it's all just wheelie-goals and half-volley shots. for me.
