Get yourself a USCF license, if you don't already have one.

Enter some races to verify your mindboggling speed.

In racing, the standard distance for TTs is 40 K or 24.8 miles.

The national record is near 48 minutes, though for us mortals breaking 60 is very good, and 55 wins most competitions. 25 mph is just under 50 minutes.

I've shown Bluegoose my sucky times, so he knows I'm trying to race, perhaps to no avail.

We would like to see if you aren't Lance relocated.

31 on a flat for 3 miles for anybody but the best is very, very suspect. But Utah has some fun races.

I know we are just re-hashing an earlier conversation where for the most part nobody believed me.
I thought last night that it would be nice to take digital photos of my computer that I could post for validation sake. But there is no way i'm taking a hand of the bike at that speed.
32 MPH for 3 miles is only about five minutes. With a breeze at my back even.
I would guess it had close to the same effect that drafting does for the speed.
Trust me, I am no Lance. I'm not even a no-dope Tyler Hamilton.
I want to race. I need a new bike. I am trying to convince the wife that spending $4000. of the family budget is not a selfish thing to do. Once I convince her, watch out.
