Average speed on a mountain bike is meaningless. We have several trails near us all of which are intermediate level. I average about 7mph on one because it’s tight and twisty and am in the top 5 on Strava but 12 mph on another one that is flowy but am outside the top 10. What matters is lap time relative to others on the same trail, not average speed.
