Some out/back "moving" speeds and powers from my last TT bike ride. I selected the road sections that aren't chip seal. The chip seal or crap road segment was a big hit to speed. Disc, 9+ front, tt helmet, no skinsuit just road jersey kit.

243w, 26.25mph
246w, 27.05mph
228w, 25mph

I think some of that may have been the lopsided benefit of a disc wheel in a cross wind hurting and helping on out/back.

But yeah, I'm pretty happy with that and the prior CdA data I saw at the last test session. I'm going to do a 10mi test with the aerometer on the bike and if the watts, speed, CdA measure pleases me enough I may leave it as-is for the rest of the season then get back at the testing after TT season.
