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.
What is Average? Hikers will vary in their conditioning, weight of gear, natural fitness, comfort range, and several other factors that influence hiking speed. With all these considered, most hikers will average about 2-3 miles per hour (3.2-4.8 km/h). Besides personal differences, different trails will have a huge impact on your hiking speed. Some trails are at a higher elevation, which decreases the amount of oxygen replenishing your muscles. Sand or gravel can make hiking more difficult as well.
