In decent but not great shape I'll average 17-18 on short (under 20 miles) rides solo. Doing intervals heading into town I'll be in the mid to higher 20's for a good stretch and closer to 30 for a bit if there's a good tail wind...on mostly flat.
With a group of decent riders you can ride a lot faster.
The point is, the people in spandex aren't usually just poking along.
