Indoor riding much different from outdoor?

I was browsing thru some of the bikejournals that are viewable on another site. I noticed one rider's outdoor speeds were 11,12,13 mph, maybe a couple of near 15's.

I looked further back and noticed that in Jan, Feb, and March, every ride but 3 or 4 were indoors. Averaged about 900 miles for each of the three months.

But rides were :
45 miles @ 30.12 average "miles per hour"!
35 miles @ 27.16 mph
45 miles @ 27.33
30 miles at 26.22

Now I've ridden with some serious cyclists that have smoked my azz, but I don't think even they could carry the speeds this lady claims!

Maybe I'm missing something and it's possible to carry speeds indoors, that double outdoor speeds for long periods of time? Or is this BS?

I could be wrong, somebody enlighten me!
