Been doing about 35-40km a day. Just cruising along, not laying into it…did 20km in one hit…took about 40 mins. Not sure how good that is? Or if it’s good at all haha.
Aero bars are a life saver though! Heart rate gets up a tad, lean down onto the aero bars and you can feel your BPM drop…Although they are a tad twitchy to steer with haha.

Cool. Your tri bike sounds killer.
20km in 40mins is some serious speed dude. That's some decent cadence no doubt. Were you on the flat or any hills?
I rode about 30km on a combination of hills and flats. Average speed of 20kph. I thought that was reasonable as it took me 1.5hrs to do that. But 20km in 40mins is exceptional.
