Congrats on that speed ... sounds good averaging 25 on the flats... good job.
1) All depends on your butt. Some are wider that others.... you may need to exchange the saddle for a wider or narrower one. Saddle should be parallel to the ground not angled up or down.
2) You should be able to pull it outta there. Even with the clip turning it will stop and the end of it's travel.
3) We have all done it at least once.
4) Getting exactly the right position clips/pedals/feet will take some time and small adjustments.
5) There is a non-shimano after market cluster that is 12 - 28. If that is that is not enough then you will need to look at some other options.
A) MTB cluster and a long cage rear der.
B) Triple
C) Compact or other ratio's on the chain ring.
Enjoy
