There's only one reliable way to set your max HR and that is to go out and hit it!
Absolutely true. That's how I know my real max is much, much higher & I can sustain above the 220-age for an more than an hour and still be conversational & not winded.

I brought it up because at first glance the OP's zones seem to be set low/improperly set for a healthy someone who is 35. But graph pattern of bars look consistent with a dedicated structured training ride. Since it wasn't, it offers a clue as to his actual cardiovascular fitness.

My guess is the OP is a fairly new first or maybe second year cyclist discovering fitness is not a thing you do but a thing you are.
