It's those fucking aeros then, the bastards.
Looking back at last weeks Sunday ride bit windy, but tailwind on the way back - ave 181, weighted 214 and yet... 17.9mph over 100k/2,900ft of climbing.Edit: As @hovis rightfully pointed out - club runs are a lot lower power, similar speed. I'm say here assuming that you both smashed it round on your own, which seems unlikely now I come to think of it.

I'm ~7kg heavier than you Ho, averaged 184 watts for the event, and was 2 minutes slower overall.
Basically I'm fatter*, which is where my additional power turned into a slower time.
Entertainingly I averaged 196 watts for last year, and was a minute slower. I did take a long and frankly extremely satisfying piss each year and have no data on how long they took, so that might account for that.
