I consider myself a very amateur bicyclist, but I am extremely proud of my numbers lately! I've been averaging about 14 miles in an hour. I also never down or upshift, so I stay in the same gear for more challenge up hills.

Glad to see you at it but it’s worth mentioning a couple points
-You *want* to upshift and downshift. Keep your legs spinning around ~90 bpm and shift to maintain consistency with your cadence. It’ll make you faster, more efficient and save your knees from injury
-Rest is important. Overtraining with cycling can really stress your body out, especially if you’re not conditioned for it. Make sure you’re taking actual rest days and give your body a chance to heal
