I'm curious how far I could go past that before stepping into crazy levels like a rider in the Tour De France does. Without counting the rest days, they averaged 105.32 miles per day. The longest stage was 144 miles and the winner of that stage finished it just under 5 hours and 28 minutes.
Tour De France Average Speed. Since the year 2000 the Tour De France average speed for the winning time has been around 25 miles per hour (40 km/hr) over the 3 week stage race. The fastest was in 2005 by Lance Armstrong (if you count that) with an average bike speed of 25.88 miles per hour (41.65km/h).
