TOURING SPEEDS
When touring you will find that you can reckon on your average speed as being two-thirds of your touring speed, that is, if you maintain a constant speed of 45 miles per hour over the country roads, slowing down, of course, for speed limits in towns and other places, and including stops, etc., your average touring speed will be in the vicinity of 30 miles per hour. The driver who idles along at 20 miles per hour admiring the scenery and then accelerates to 55 or 60 on the open road in order to make up lost time will find that his average is no more than 20 or 23 miles per hour. Kemember the maxim: Maintain a steady speed rather than fast travelling to make up time already lost.
