FWIW I averaged 28.9 Km/h on last night's time trial (the hilly route at Kirkcudbright) and finished in 32' 45"; Steve Martin set a course record of 23' 45" which I make just over 40Km/h. He was certainly flying when he went past me, and I was working pretty hard at the time.

Hilly? What is this "hilly" of which you speak 😉
110 metres of climb in the first three miles. Not 110 metres of altitude, only 90, but it's still tough for a time trial.

Living in Holland, I wouldn't know what to do with a hill if it bit me on the back of the leg. The climb to get onto the Zeelandbrug (http://gallery.zoom.nl/gallery/193/dxVY4s.jpg) is the biggest I do these days.
However, once I get onto it, yesterdays force 6 coming straight from the North Sea was "interesting".
