Got out on my bike for the first time for quite a while last weekend. Me and FatJoe did this route:

I was riding geared and FatJoe was on fixed (lowish ratio). We took around 2.5 hours and had some stops to recoup. I think we managed an average of around 13mph.
I went out today on my own on the geared bike and did it in 1 hour 13 mins with an average of 17.24mph. Quite pleased with myself but I was knackered aftrwards, even though it was only a 21mile route. It's pretty hilly as far as my rides normally go.
