I've never raced but plan to race next season. I can average 23mphr to intermediate 28mphr, hold there for a minute or two and back to 23 mphr.

Go do a solo 40 mile ride, out and back, then tell us how long it took you. Better still post one of your rides, again out and back or circular, from GarminConnect or Strava. If you get anywhere near a 25mph average I will eat my bib shorts. The speeds you are claiming require you to produce around 400watts for an hour and half. Sorry, but that is World Tour pro level and there is no way you can do that, not after 6 months of riding! I don't doubt that you may be a natural talent / genetically gifted individual, but you are certainly overstating the numbers.

No "we", just you solo. You don't need a Garmin, you could use a smartphone and the Strava app, but you can also just time yourself on an out and back 40mi loop with no stops and work out your average speed from there.

I do intervals the other way around. I hammer 100% of the time on z4 (240-260w) and depending on the day I do either 10x5min z1 with 2min z7s inbetween etc etc. Other days I may do 1x5min z1 and 2 30min z2 at beginning and end. All these for a 2 hour ride.

That's cool you're up for the challenge. But even with a strava or garmin link as proof, you'll still subject yourself to accusations of hiring a pro or riding a moped.
