Hello,
I am new to road cycling as I am starting Sprint triathlons this year. I have recently purchased a GT Series 3 bike. I go on a regular ride now of 11 miles and it takes 40 minutes and has a few moderate hills. Therefore 16.5 mph. My question is is this reasonable? And what benefit would I get from proper pedals and shoes. At this rate I will do the 24km of a sprint tri in about 50/55 minutes.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
