I occasionally look at the 'ring web cam. Just saw this and wondered what his time will be.....

20 days, 10 hours, 15 minutes and a few odd seconds?

He's gonna get in trouble before he even starts! He has ridden past the 2 cycle lanes and gone into the car lane...

It would be interesting to know what time a GOOD race cyclist would make... obviously not as fast as any car but surprisingly quick, I suspect.

Top long distance racers do around 25mph average over something like the Tour de France
So if we say 13miles then somewhat less than 30mins would be my guess.

Do you have a link to the webcam? I bet you get some interesting stuff lining up around there!

25mph seems abit slow to me, I know its 13miles so they can't go flat out but I saw something on the news about olympic cyclists stopped on the motorway doing 40Mph (This was about 10years ago).
