Sorry, but if you are hit mid 20's on a ride it ain't recovery....Unless you regularily ride in the TdF...
Homebrew has it right....
Hence the reason I have STOPPED doing recovery rides with groups....Only the wife and I go out those days....Slow and easy is the word...
It's not the OP's recovery ride it's a recovery ride for the group. Invariably when a group gets together they will often pick up the pace at various points in the ride because it is an easy short ride for the group.
