I'm with you. Keep gearing up and accelerating. You don't know how fast you can go until you try. Just holding a high cadence is limiting unless you're riding in a group, in which case it's fine. I do long solo intervals during which I hold a high cadence up hill and down. I think that's good training, but that's not how I roll when I want to go.
