Black,
The groups George and I ride with, particularly the Cycle Science ride  in
Jupiter, will often run between 28 and 33 for 5 to 10 minutes, slowing down
to 27 or 27 for a few minutes, before someone attacks again . The ride is a
50 miler, and George is NOT exaggerating about its average speeds. Its a
smooth rotational pace line with anywhere from 25 to 50 riders ( depending
on the day), it has very good cat 3's, plenty of 2's, and frequent notables
like the  pro team from Saturn, and several riders seen in the Tour de
France.  This is one of the fastest rides in the south. Its flat, but it
runs a blistering pace.

As to the scootering, if you went scooter diving and I was finning, I'd be
waiting for you, just like I did with the guy who makes the scooter that
fits on the back of your tank. He thought it was ridiculous that I could
suggest a diver would out swim a scooter until he dove with me. This is
about how you should configure your gear ( that's DIR, mikey), its about
aerobic fitness ( also DIR mikey), and its about using good freediving fins
in the open ocean ( not in cave or penetrating shipwrecks).  This is too
easy to prove...

And the credibility problem continues, perpetuated by Boy George

Well Georgie Girl, don't place any money on your bet.  Let's just say
that my fitness level is adequate enough to know that when you say
you and Volker average 28 mph on your bikes, or you can keep up with
scooters by finning, I know you are FOS.  Georgie, not even the cat
2's and 3's that I ride with can do that.  And as a wave one Birkie
skier (figure it out) who sometimes averages a 5-minute mile in ski
races, I know first-hand that you and your information are whacko.
So keep it up, I really am entertained.
