I'm not in the age group, but saw TT and had to step in.

Nothing here is routinely flat enough long enough without a wind to get a good mile in. Up/down or wind/hurt. They're all a good bit out of town. So, I've one I try that's 6/10th mile that's down, flat, then finish up a touch. I'm 2nd at 33.5mph and around low 400's watts. There's an uphill false flat mile nearby I usually do at about 25 to 26mph on only around 290 to 320w.

Makes me wanna try it. More so, I'd like to find a good flat 4km piece around town. Do some pursuits. See if I can crack 5min with a "cheater" starting roll. I have one out of town by work, but always windy. So either it's a smashing record breaking 4min flat 4km with the strong wind........or a painful 7min slog coming the other way. Doh!

I will say when it's modestly flat and you can on your own power get the bad boy up to 30mph. That's some feeling right there. Even if very brief.
