Speed into wind and with the wind

Hi,

Not sure this is the best forum but it is the most technical.

Anyway today I rode on the flat into a 20mph+ headwind doing about 10mph.
So aero drag is equivalent to doing 30mph and should totally dominate.

Fact is I can't remotely do 30mph on the flat no wind, so how can I do 10mph
into a 20mph wind ? Coming back the other way with the wind I think I hit
25mph maximum on the flat, how does that work with a 20mph tailwind ?

Before you say the wind simply wasn't that strong I can assure you it was.

rgds, sreten.
