Maybe I need to get a bottle of NOS. My road rides usually average ~18mph +/- 1mph over 45-55 miles on my hardtail with slicks, so I'm not being much of a slouch, either.
Sounds like what I feel like when I'm red-lining...maybe you just have a low mhr. You can probably do more work at a lower heart rate though, right? It all works out...
