I don't question your speed so much as your HR. The sensor must not be staying in touch with your body. About 15 years ago I rode from Rexburg to Jackson, Wy and just outside of Jackson is a huge pass. We got going down the other side and at one point is a section of straight road. We were flying by cars and just barely got it into the 60's. It made me nervous and once was enough in my life.

I'm trying to up the distance that I can average over 20 mph and Friday evening I made it to 50 miles. Saturday I was looking to do it again but as I got going I could tell my legs were shot so I took it easy and saved myself for some golf after.
