How big of a time difference is this
Is a min a long time for a 10 mile ride?
I have a "Long" circuit (20 miles) that i ride rarely, a medium circuit (about 12) and a "short" that is VERY hilly that i do sometimes.
The last time i did the short (about 2 months ago) vs today, i was a min quicker today...but is that really anything worth while?

If you're talking about a time trial on an indoor track, then 1 minute over 10 miles is a big deal. If you're talking about public streets, then traffic lights or wind can easily account for more than 1 minute.

This minute less was reproduced how many times? Just once? Twice? 100 times?
You could just have increased your short burst strength from jimming
Try to clock your laps and get that one minute less for like 20 times...
50 minutes on a 200 miler... is HUGE!
