Microsoft just reported its Q4 earnings and the news is mixed. The good news: it's a beat on both profit and revenue, excluding extraordinary items. Microsoft reported: Earnings per share of 62 cents versus expected EPS of 58 cents. $22.2 billion in revenue versus expected revenue of 22.04 billion.
First ride today on my first road bike (been a mountain biker until now). Averaged 13mph on a rolling route with a couple of sharp climbs. I'm quite pleased with that considering I'm still learning the bike, how to use the gears, ratios etc. I also expect it is going to take me a while to get faster.
Hear are some general guidelines, all for solo riders on general 'mixed' terrain (ie rolling hills about 30% of the time, and pretty flat the rest of the time): Beginner, short distance (say 10-15 miles): average speed 12 mph. Most cyclists can achieve 10-12 mph average very quickly with limited training.
