@apc, your numbers sound realistic (and pretty decent) to me. I have similar-ish numbers but am a touch taller and less powerful. How tall are you out of interest?
I too would happily gain a few kg for an extra few watts, as I also struggle in the wind and keeping up on flat or rolling roads.
Unfortunately I've spent much of my weekends since new year slogging out 150-200km ish rides to get in shape for the 240km (and an unpleasant amount of climbing) Amstel Gold sportive, so specific training for power has gone out the window bar the odd 2 x 20 type session on the turbo in the evenings. The weekends have been more about seeing how long I can survive in the saddle!
