Just brought a fairly decent hi bred bike, i.e racing wheels etc but straight bars just for a better posture on the bike for my spine.

My plan is to ride to and from work every day the distance is 16 miles.

Any ideas roughly what this will take time wise?

I have done quite a few tri-athlons over the years including Olympic distances in the past, last time on a bike was 2002.

Depending on roads, on a decent bike you should be able to average at least 20mph if you're fit. So around 45mins.

I'm not particularly mega fit, and ride a mountain bike, have to walk over rail brige and cover 3.5 miles, 1/4 of it off road in around 15 minutes which equates to 14mph, I'm confident I can go quicker, but I aim not to sit in a pool of sweat when I arrive at the office.
