Also, 95 seconds for 0.42miles = 676m -> 25km/h
Putting the numbers into a bike calculator, 76kg with 10kg bike weight (assuming some clothes, bottles, bag) with 225w at 5% gradient is 15.8km/h. That is nowhere near 25 and I actually find the calculator to be much more accurate that 10kmh discrepancies. So something is off with the numbers you stated there.
As mentioned above, hill be follows a fast segment so we came in at speed and slowed down gradually up the climb. We came in at 22.2 and 22.1 miles per hour. Yes 7 seconds is a lot and thats why im frustrated.
