I really forgot what it is like. I was out of biking until 2 yrs ago, when I started riding a mtb. Screw the gravel I live on, I'll truck the road bike to the pavement. I added 3mph to my overall speed average and I wasn't pushing near as hard as on the mtb. I just did 25 miles on the mtb a couple of days ago, but with the road bike I know I can do 50 easy. I'll let you know next thursday, my next day off.

ATB bikes suck on the road, even with slicks, but they are awful with knobbies. One ride with a group on road bikes, you on the ATB and slicks will demonstrate this.
