I was astounded to find on a bit of gradient near home where with a bit of focus I keep it around 20kmh I was doing 25.3! My heart rate was elevated in comparison but previously I would have had to get out of the saddle to get to that speed. Today I was comfortable in the legs which didn't feel close to blowing.'
