Believe it or not, yes.
For the downhill mile, of course not.
For the flat mile, I have a hard time slowing myself down to the point that I'm not just breaking a sweat when I get to work. It's when I come to a stop, but my body is still making the heat from the effort with no cooling wind. I'm not talking "drenched in sweat" here, but "broke a sweat." 10-12 mph would be fine, but I just don't have it in me to go that slowly on a gravel bike.
