Racing Speed

What speed in mph is good for bicycle racing?
I have started riding my bicycle once again and I have thought on and off about eventually doing some racing, I have a speedometer, and I wondered what speed I should be going on average, or even top speed before I even think about racing in the pros or novice, ect...?
Sounds like you don't ride much.
If you're really interested in racing some day you don't need to attain a certain speed. What you need to do is join a bike club. You can check a few bike shops around or google for clubs in your area. Racing or even fast performace riding takes a lot of miles and effort. If you aren't willing to ride 75 to 150 miles a week you won't be able to do well in even a club beginners race. Most clubs will have A, B, C training rides. A= 20mph +, B=17 to 19 etc. Start in the C group and work your way up.
If you can time trial for 10 miles on the flats at about 20 you can ride a beginners race and hang in the pack. Bike racing isn't baseball. You have to put in a lot of hours of intensive training to be average. If you have the physical ability and the mental strength to do this you may be able to ride a 100 mile race at 25mph in 5 years or so.
Pro bike racing is one of the most difficult sports and takes tons of time and energy and that isn't enough if you don't have the natural potential for it.

Murray Adagio 12 Speed Racing Bike?
yo, i jus picked up a Murray Adagio 12 Speed Racing Bike for $40 off of craigslist. I was wondering if anyone knows if this is a good bike or not since i cant find anything on it on google. Im planning on spiffing it up a bit. Anyone have an suggestions of typical upgrades to road bikes?
It's basically the same thing as buying a Huffy, just with less support. They stopped making bikes more than a decade ago & now make lawnmowers.
You got it cheap enough that, if it doesn't need any work, you can use it till it falls apart. But if it needs any work, throw it away & put the money towards a new bike.
Sorry to give you the bad news.
