I can do 25-27 on the flats for a little while before my legs and heart scream at me.
The strongest day in recent memory on a bike was one day STP when I pulled for stretches at 24-25 mph throughout the 200 miles. We had a slight tailwind for the first 100 miles then a hella tailwind for the last 30 of the 200 total miles. I remember doin 27-28 solo the last 30 mile stretch and thinking about what a feeling of accomplishment to be able to handle all my nutrition/hydration/mental aspects of the 200 mile ride very well.
