Good point! The only road training I do is with DH - I've never been on the road without him. I'd say most of the ride I was at the top end of my speed... if the wind changed or we got a gust, it'd push me off the back and I'd either have to hussle to keep up, or just dog along until they slowed down At the end, I did tell the guy pulling our line to slow down; his computer wasn't working and his legs were easily pulling 23mph - and wanting to do more even with a slight tail wind, I wasn't feeling that strong... 21 was as much as I could sustain.
