TheBrick: Riding in a bunch is much more aero than doing so alone so you will easily be able to average a few kph faster and ride for longer. Find a bunch that will either wait for you OR find a fast bunch, perhaps get dropped and then know how to make your own way home.
It's all about trying harder stuff which in turn forces you to improve. (I can talk.. I keep taking the slow bunch on Sundays..)
My fastest commute average speed is 'only' around 28kph, but this 'includes' stopping for red lights (there's a light every 200m on my commute!).
